ABSTRACT
Inventory management is an important basis for production management and cost control in manufacturing
enterprises. The timely management method of inventory timely system is the scientific and efficient inventory
management mode with remarkable advantages in inventory management. How to use The Internet of Things
technology to assist the effective implementation of inventory timely management is the main problem discussed in
this paper. IOT technology can assist enterprises to collect, analyze and process real-time data, thus providing
advanced technology support for enterprises to carry out scientific and efficient inventory management. This paper
systematically expounds how to use The Internet of Things technology to monitor and control the process of
delivering finished products to the buyer's location in real time, so as to better assist the smooth implementation of
inventory timely management methods. From the perspective of product distribution, we summarize the feasibility
and concrete implementation of the application of Internet of Things technology, so that enterprises to the product
distribution process to accurately detect and control, effectively make up for the inventory timely management
methods of defects, to avoid the occurrence of default liability.
Keywords: JIT inventory management, net of things, Intelligent detection and distribution system.
