The aims of the study is to develop a system that able to overcome the limitations of keeping track inventories on the manufacturing plant. The proposed system is named Wireless Mobile RFID Reader (WiBRED) in order to improve the accuracy and traceability of materials in the industrial warehouse management process. This novel system was developed based on the Waterfall model involving the integration of active and passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and IOIO is a board specially designed to work with Android 1.5 and later device to support wireless communication over a smart phone running on Android operating system. This system was implemented in a Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) environment in which its performance was assessed in terms of maximum read range for indoor environment, multi tags communication efficiency, power consumption, and tag collection time. The findings of the assessment showed that maximum read range reach up to 3.5meter for passive wireless communication .....
