SMART TOOL

TRACKING SYSTEM
Utilizing RFID Technology for
efficient Tool Management

Presented by: Edson T. Shava


INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
• In companies, in different industries, managing
tools efficiently is crucial for operational success.
• Problems that companies face are:
▪ time consuming and inaccurate tool
management
▪ Increased risk of theft or loss

AIM
To develop a Smart Tool Tracking System (STTS) using
RFID technology to enhance tool management
OBJECTIVES

Efficient Inventory Loss Prevention and Improve


Management Cost Reduction Accountability
Develop a user Use RFID and GPS to Hold technicians
friendly software monitor tool location accountable for
application for and reduce costs proper tool care
managing tools associated with
inefficient tool
management
LITERATURE REVIEW
RFID Technology Overview
RFID (Radio frequency Identification) technology uses
radio waves to automatically identify and track tags
attached to objects.
It is used mostly in manufacturing industries to help
identify and locate machinery in an indoor
environment.

Existing Tool Management Systems


• Conventional method
• Barcode-based system (Tool Hound)
• GPS systems
• RFID systems
• Vision-based systems
PROTOTYPE: SYSTEM COMPONENTS

RFID Tags and Readers


Tags are attached to
the tool. Readers
capture the tag data

GPS Module
Provides the real-
time location of the
tool.
PROTOTYPE: SYSTEM COMPONENTS

ESP8266 Microcontroller
The microcontroller as the brains of the
system
PROTOTYPE: SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Software Application
A user-friendly interface for managing tool data,
check-out processes, and real time location
PROTOTYPE: BLOCK DIAGRAM
PROTOTYPE: STTS
RESULTS

The STTS successfully digitize the logging of tools

The STTS successfully facilitates the tracking of real time


location of the tools
BENEFITS OF THE SYSTEM

Efficient Inventory Management

Operational Efficiency

Loss Prevention

Cost Reduction

Improved Accountability
RECOMMENDATION

The system should incorporate security features such as: a


Login page.

Instead of showing location as coordinates, the system could


show this real-time location of the tools on a map.

The system should also log personnel
