An Integrated Automation Framework for Monitoring and Control of Material Processes

The automation of material receiving processes plays a central role in ensuring traceability, process control, and data consistency in warehouse and logistics environments. Inbound material registration is a critical stage, as inaccuracies at this point propagate throughout subsequent operational processes. This paper presents an integrated automation framework focused on the monitoring and control of material entry processes, emphasizing structured data acquisition and system-level control. The proposed framework is composed of a mobile application designed for material intake registration and a centralized web-based platform responsible for data storage, validation, and monitoring. The inbound application supports the capture of material information through document scanning, image recording, and structured input fields, while the web platform consolidates records, enables historical tracking, and manages access and device control. From a methodological perspective, the system architecture was developed based on automation and control principles, with emphasis on modularity, process standardization, and consistency of information flow. The framework enables real-time registration of inbound events and continuous monitoring of material entry status through a centralized interface. Experimental deployment in a controlled warehouse scenario demonstrated the system’s ability to ensure coherent registration of inbound materials, reduce information gaps during receiving operations, and support traceability through structured data records. The results indicate that the proposed framework provides a consistent and controllable approach to inbound material monitoring. From a theoretical standpoint, the study contributes to the understanding of automation-oriented system architectures for material entry processes, offering a reference model for future developments in warehouse automation and control systems.
