Software and Hardware Design, Implementation and Algorithm Analysis of Marine RFID Automatic Information Monitoring System

This study applied radio frequency identification (RFID) and database technologies to monitor and manage multifarious information of cabin comprehensively, which includes the documents, temperature, humidity, personnel and so on of vessel, effectively improving the efficiency and effectiveness of ship monitoring system. In this paper, a unique marine automatic information monitoring hardware with RFID is designed and implemented, as well as a self-designed software with Visual Studio Professional 2017. An improved intensive label-reading algorithm for enclosed spaces (e.g. cabins) is proposed and applied in this software, greatly improving the speed and accuracy of label reading. Furthermore, the simulation test of label frequency and reading accuracy is carried out to get the most suitable frequency for cabin - intensive documents reading. Both the results and data analysis show that the proposed method and simulation test are effective and feasible.
