Application process and value of RFID smart cabinets in tool management

Here we take the electric power industry as an example to talk about the application process and value of RFID smart cabinets in Tool management.

1. Application background introduction

The normal operation of electricity is crucial, and in order to ensure the normal work of workers and the safe and normal operation of the power grid, the power supply department has strict regulations on the purchase, use, inspection and maintenance of power equipment and tools. In order to further standardize the daily inspection, testing, scrapping and grid-connected manufacturers, procurement management, whole-process monitoring of daily inspections, regular tests and other aspects of electric power safety equipment to ensure the safety of use of electric power safety equipment, electric power companies will probably start in 2017 RFID technology is used for tool management, and RFID smart devices are generally used in the tool management process. According to our research, thanks to the informatization transformation of power grid companies in recent years, the shipment volume of RFID smart tool cabinets in the power sector also grew at a high rate last year.

2. Application process

First, before the tools are put into storage, electronic labels should be pasted or hung on the tools, and basic information such as the tool's product name, model, specification, origin, brand name, packaging, etc. should be entered and the tool categories should be divided. After the entry and classification are completed, the tools should be placed to the RFID smart cabinet. Tool purchase and storage, tool lending, tool return, tool inventory

Recipients can identify themselves by swiping their face, etc. After entering the system, they can open the cabinet door to receive the tools. After completion, the system will automatically inventory and verify the number and type of tools used.

Personnel returning tools can be identified by swiping their face, etc. After entering the system, they can open the cabinet door and return the tools. After completion, the system will automatically check the number and type of returned tools. The top of the smart cabinet can be equipped with surveillance video to monitor the operator's receiving and returning behavior in real time and save it.

The RFID smart cabinet can fully automatically record the entry and exit of tools, and can generate various management reports in real time. Different conditions can also be set for the smart cabinet to make intelligent alarms to ensure the completeness of work equipment.

  3. Application advantages

Specifically, the advantages of RFID smart tool cabinets in electricity are as follows:

1. Basic information such as product name, model, specification, origin, brand name, packaging, etc. of the tool can be entered into the RFID tag to replace the traditional paper test certificate. In addition, RFID identification has the characteristics of non-contact, high reading rate, and rapid group reading, which can greatly save labor costs and improve work efficiency.

2. Use digital means to achieve unified management of grass-roots units, personnel, and insulating tools and equipment in various locations, and timely understand the inspection and access results of tools and equipment, which provides a solid guarantee for the company's safety management of insulating tools and tools.

In the management of tools and equipment in the fields of railways, aviation, manufacturing and other fields, the application process and advantages of RFID smart devices are similar to those in electricity, and the future application space is very broad.
