Basic study of an Inventory Application which uses a Screen Agent

Abstract

In recent years, with the development of IoT technology, it has become mainstream to manage by electronic data. However, due to the aging of the population in various industries, the number of people who are not good at operating applications or software is increasing. Therefore, a plan that is easy to use even for those who use applications for the first time (hereinafter referred to as beginners) is needed. Therefore, this paper develops an inventory application that performs inventory with a screen agent that assists the operation. The screen agent teaches the operation while explaining how to use it. As a side note, inventory is the work of counting all the products in a company. In the experiment, this application was used for inventory in a company that manages inventory for about 5,000 types of automobile parts every year. The result of this experiment shows that compared to a conventional application that does not use screen agents, using this application could reduce the working time of taking inventory by about 45 percent.
