RFID Based Laboratory Management System

In this paper, we discuss the development of a functioning model for a laboratory inventory management system based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The system allows users to track, search, and label laboratory equipment wirelessly. This system is able to locate inventory and report its status either present or missing. The collected inventory data from RFID is then stored and displayed on a PC such that a user can go to the system and search for the inventory desired. This system will not only provide meaningful tracking and equipment status information but also secure products from theft and ensure a more efficient inventory evaluation.
