The objective of this project is to develop a software to track the presence of important assets in an industry like machines, laptops, tools, etc. using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and monitor the status of the assets inside an industry. The presence of the asset is detected by using the RFID technology, in which RFID tags are attached to the asset and the RFID reader will read the RFID tags and provide the presence or absence of the asset. And a database will be created where the status of the machines is uploaded periodically and any authenticated user can view the status from anywhere inside the industry, if they are connected to the industry’s Wi-Fi. The database further helps in continuous monitoring of the assets and can be used for analysis purpose too. The developed software will link the database in the backend to the User Interface (UI) on the frontend. Depending on the user, they can create, edit, delete, or see the status. The information uploaded can be in form of text or a document. The information available in the database will be segregated and displayed on the UI in a coherent way, so that it will be easy to access the required information. Also, special authentication will be provided for specific users, who will have some special rights. The user authentication system will have password encryption, so that passwords will be secure. The software will be hosted on the industry’s Local Area Network (LAN) or cloud hosting platforms depending on the industry’s requirement. In order to integrate a software with a company’s LAN, a main web server should be used and the files used for software should be configured to the main server. Then to use the software, connect the device to the main server (via Wi-Fi or LAN) and enter the IP address of the website in order to access the website. The application of this project is to provide a platform where the information about the assets can be stored and displayed in an informative way to the users. The users will be the employees working in that industry or someone who is related to that industry. Because of this, the employees can keep track of the status of the assets like machine in an effective way, provide the presence or absence of the asset in the industry, also it is easy for them to see the past records of a particular machine. In case if any new employee joins the company and he needs to operate a machine, he can easily go through the records of that machine
