Abstract: ABSTRACT In The present invention relates to a smart system for detecting and managing product expiry using barcode scanning technology. The system utilizes standardized barcodes to uniquely identify products and retrieve associated expiry information. Upon scanning, the system analyzes the expiry date and determines the product status, generating real-time alerts for expired or nearexpiry products. This reduces the manual effort involved in checking expiry dates and helps minimize product wastage and financial losses. The invention also improves safety by preventing the use or sale of expired items. It is applicable in retail stores, pharmacies, warehouses, and household environments. Due to the universal nature of barcode standards, the system is scalable and adaptable across multiple domains. Furthermore, it can be integrated with cloud-based databases for centralized monitoring and tracking. Overall, the invention provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for automated expiry management
