4. Objective
The purpose behind developing QR Code Based
Smart Logistics System for LD Slag Dispatch is to
initiate paperless movement of vehicles inside
/outside Tata Steel premises. As in currently a
lot of paperwork are done to seek permissions
for vehicles entry/exit movement that creates a
lot of congestion at all entry/exit gates as well
as at weighbridge. So our purpose is to reduce
this congestion of vehicles and increase its
utilization time.
6. Scope of the
Work
The project encompasses several scopes as listed below:
▸ Paperless work for vehicles at entry/exit gates and also
movement inside Tata steel premises.
▸ Instant retrieval of information for vehicles having QR
code can be done.
▸ QR code can be easily scanned by the employee/user in
order to update and retrieve information.
▸ The waiting time for vehicles having QR code in queue
would be minimal. Thus leading to carry more no. of trips
in a day, this would add more profit to the organisation.
▸ Maintenance of data/records in the relational database
will be easy and can be efficiently used to increase the
supply of LD slag.
8. Why QR
Code?
QR code is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode.
In practice, QR codes often contain data for a locator,
identifier, or tracker that points to a website or
application. A QR code consists of black squares
arranged in a square grid on a white background, which
can be read by an imaging device such as a camera.
Incorporating a QR code based smart logistics system
(specially for LD slag dispatch) in a industry like Tata
Steel Limited would be a great move. Currently
paperwork is in practice for the logistics being used.
Implementation of QR code would make it a smart
logistics system.

10. What is
QR based
smart
logistic
system for
LD slag
dispatch
QR code based smart logistics system for LD slag
dispatch, this is what I have developed.
Here smart logistics mean handling/managing the
vehicle resources in a smarter way so that the
efficiency of transportation can be increased.
Currently we are reliable on paperwork for handling
the logistics but transforming it on a smarter
technology like QR code our work can be simplified
12. How does
QR based
smart
logistic
system for
LD slag
dispatch
Works?
A desktop application is developed that contains
two different sections.
Those sections are:
• Customer: The person who orders for LD slags.
• IBMD: Department in Tata Steel that fulfills the
demand of customer.
There is also a weighbridge section that contains
the net, tare and gross weight of the LD slag of the
ordered customer with the challan number that is
generated by IBMD.
With all the required data QR code is generated by
the IBMD for LD slag dispatch within or outside the
Tata Steel premises.
27. Additional
Information
Term Definition
QR code It stands for Quick Response Code. It often contain data
for a locator, identifier, or tracker that points to a
website or application.
IBMD It stands for Industrial By-Products Management
Division. It deals with all by-products generated in the
steelmaking value chain from raw materials to finished
goods stage.
Tare weight It is the weight of an empty vehicle.
Gross weight It is the weight of a loaded vehicle.
Net weight It is the weight of a good without its container. Gross
weight less tare weight equals net weight.
OTP A one-time password, also known as one-time pin or
dynamic password, is a password that is valid for only
one login session.
Work order It is usually a task or job for a customer that can be
scheduled to someone.
Sales order The sales order is an order issued by a business or sole
trader to a customer.
29. Conclusion
▸ Finally we conclude that by using this
application employees of IBMD
department can easily generate the
challan number without any paperwork
and this challan number with detail
quantity LD slag is as QR code until LD
slag dispatch to the specified customer.
▸ OTP validation part helps in checking
whether the LD slag is dispatched to
correct customer(within or outside the
Tata Steel premises) or not.
