Beautiful Mind is an art restoration and storage studio in Hong Kong. Currently, it is using high frequency and ultra-high frequency RFID tags and zigbee wireless sensors to monitor artworks. Among them, high-frequency tags are used to monitor storage units, and UHF tags and readers are used for item-level tracking. The solution includes tags, readers and data software, and the solution is provided by Taiwan Henglong Technology.
Beautiful Mind includes 23 general storage units and 5 VIP storage rooms. A high-frequency reader is installed at the entrance of each storage unit and storage room. The UHF channel reader is mainly used to track the artwork leaving the storage unit or the storage room, and the Zigbee sensor monitors the temperature, humidity and other information of the environment where the artwork is located. The data software developed by Hang Lung Technology is installed on the server of the studio to manage the data collected by tags and sensors. In addition, high-frequency readers, high-frequency and ultra-high-frequency tags are also provided by Henglong Technology Company.

The studio offers three main services: restoration of professional artworks, art training, and storage of art collections. Before installing the above solutions, studio managers have been looking for technological solutions to ensure the safe storage of artworks.
Access to the storage room requires a pass with an embedded 13.56 MHz passive high-frequency RFID tag that complies with the ISO 14443A standard, in the form of a wristband for studio employees and a card for art owners.
The artworks entering the storage room must first be pasted with passive EPC Gen2 UHF RFID tags, in which the tag chip adopts Alien Higgs-3 chip and is packaged by Henglong Technology. The unique code of the tag is associated with information such as the owner of the artwork and the storage unit where it is located. A total of 37 UHF RFID readers are installed in the studio. Alien ALR 9650 readers are installed at the exit of the storage room, and readers are also installed inside the VIP storage room. In addition, Alien ALR 9900 readers are installed at the entrance to the main access to the storage room, the training room, and the restoration room.
If the artwork is moved out of the storage room, the reader at the door reads the ID of the tag, and the background data software will calculate the location of the artwork and the time of entry and exit.
The RFID technology solution in the VIP storage room is being implemented and is expected to be completed in June this year. The security factor in the VIP storage room is higher, and each shelf containing artworks is equipped with RFID read-write antennas to ensure real-time reading of all tag data. The read data is sent to the background data processing software. VIP members can log in to the website to view and obtain the corresponding stored data, and can also see the live work through the camera.
Zigbee sensors are installed in each storage unit and VIP storage room to measure the temperature and humidity of the storage environment. The sensor transmits data over 2.4GHz to the gateway receiver, which is then forwarded to the backend database. The background processing software not only collects data such as temperature and humidity, but also issues an alarm when the stored environmental data exceeds a set threshold.
The RFID solution has been in operation since June 2012 and has been approved by Beautiful Mind managers.
