Design of a Computer Laboratory Asset Management System Based on Radio Frequency Identification

With the rapid development of information technology, computer laboratories have become important venues for academic research and teaching. However, effective management of the numerous and diverse assets in a laboratory is a challenge. Traditional asset management methods, such as manual recording and barcode scanning, suffer from inefficiency and lack of accuracy. This study aims to design a computer laboratory asset management system based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to improve the efficiency and accuracy of asset management. The system utilizes the wireless identification and data transmission capabilities of RFID technology for rapid and automated tracking and management of laboratory assets.First, the paper introduces the basic principles of RFID technology and its current application in asset management. Then, it analyzes the asset management needs of computer laboratories in detail, determining the main objectives and functions of the system. The system design focuses on the composition of the RFID system, data collection methods, and the architecture of the asset management software. Specifically, High-Frequency (HF) RFID technology is used to adapt to the dense electronic equipment environment in laboratories, and a user-friendly interface is designed for easy operation by non-technical personnel. During the implementation and testing phase, the system was deployed and tested in a university computer laboratory. The test results showed that the RFID-based system significantly improved efficiency and reduced errors in asset registration, inventory, and tracking compared to traditional methods. Additionally, the system supports asset status monitoring and alarm functions, further enhancing the capability for asset security management.This research successfully demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of an RFID-based computer laboratory asset management system. Through actual deployment and testing, the system has proven its advantages in improving management efficiency and accuracy. Future work will focus on expanding system functionality, optimizing the user experience, and exploring the potential application in other environments with high-density electronic devices. The adoption of RFID technology in this context represents a significant step forward in the realm of asset management, particularly in settings characterized by a high volume of electronic equipment. The system’s ability to offer real-time tracking, enhanced security features, and efficient inventory management highlights the transformative impact of integrating advanced technologies in operational processes. This study not only contributes to the field of asset management in educational and research settings but also sets a precedent for similar applications in other sectors where effective asset management is crucial.
