RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification, radio frequency identification is wireless communication, and the tracking of items is realized through the intelligent identification of items. The RFID tag has a chip and an antenna, the chip can identify the stored information, and the antenna is used to transmit the information. The core of the RFID intelligent tool cabinet of the Master Worker LOTO intelligent management system launched by Randore uses this technology, and its core is to use RFID tag technology to embed tags into various tools to realize automatic management of tools and simplify the process of tool use, return and inventory information.
1. the workflow of RFID intelligent tool cabinet:
Workers swipe cards (requisition/return tools), tool location approval, send requisition/return information, summarize data per machine, and generate weekly reports.
2. What are the advantages of RFID smart tool cabinet?
(1)Reduce business costs
Prevent accidental loss, increase tool visibility, tool inventory management, and reduce lost and stolen tools across the board.
(2)24-hour access at any time
With keyless entry, eliminate the possibility of losing your keys. Authorized employees have 24-hour access and can use as you go.
(3)Real-time tracking of tools
SOP desk management for increased responsibility and traceability.
(4)Save working time
Reduce man-hours, avoid wasting time looking for tools, and realize tool sharing.
(5)Generate data analysis reports
Customizable multi-dimensional automatic reports.
(6)Simple operation
The automatic barcode is easy to operate, and the calibration information is always alerted.

3. the application and future prospect of RFID intelligent tool cabinet
RFID intelligent tool cabinet is widely used in the automotive industry, power industry, chemical industry, manufacturing, mining industry, construction industry and other fields, greatly improving the efficiency of tool inventory, such as in the automobile manufacturing industry, the use of RFID intelligent tool cabinet to shorten the tool search time, can also track the use of tools, real-time monitoring of inventory, to ensure that manufacturing and maintenance work can be carried out smoothly.
The RFID smart cabinets under the Master Worker LOTO intelligent management system launched by Randore are available in different forms, which can adjust the shelf height and compartments according to different equipment sizes, and provide fully customized functions. With a complete setup of back-end server support, the system can also allow for more features to support further availability. Equipment placed in the shelves is scanned frequently and updated regularly. Once any item is deleted, it will be logged and action will be taken accordingly. Security features are also included to ensure that there is no unauthorized access to the devices within the system. The smart tool cart is a mobile tool library that works according to local conditions.
With the development of the times, the RFID intelligent tool cabinet has realized the fine management of tools, and its automatic inventory mode has greatly improved production efficiency and reduced labor costs. In the future, RFID intelligent tool cabinets will play an increasingly important role in more fields and become an indispensable part of modern industrial management.
