1 Introduction

The RFID asset real-time positioning and monitoring system of Shanghai Net Frequency Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. can use radio frequency identification technology (RFID) to mark fixed assets according to the scope of fixed asset management and the size of the management target. The main feature of the system is the full tracking of fixed assets through radio frequency technology.

2 Project requirements and plans

2.1 Project background

Today’s enterprises, whether small-scale commercial enterprises or large-scale manufacturing enterprises, all put fixed asset management into an important position in internal cost control and annual financial statistical reports. The cost of internal fixed assets also affects the profitability of the company’s external direct income. Good control and mastery of internal assets can provide strong support for stable operations. The asset management system includes modules for daily asset management, asset depreciation management, report statistics, asset purchase approval management, asset inventory management, key asset management, and system management. It provides management functions such as asset increase, decrease, transfer, lease, decommissioning, storage, idleness, scrapping, and allocation, and provides all kinds of reports required, and provides flexible and diverse statistics and queries.

2.2 Demand analysis

Asset tracking management based on active RFID technology is mainly used for the management of asset equipment information management objects and application objects (that is, people who contact, use, and keep asset equipment information).

Mark important information objects with RFID tags to make them a target, and store the target data in the database (database) to make them identifiable targets, and deploy target identification and data collection equipment-RFID in different management units and monitoring pointsReader, Read the target data that enters the reader’s signal coverage area (data acquisition platform); transmit the data to the management server through a wired or wireless network (data transmission platform), and analyze and judge the data through various configured modules , Release (service platform); respond to the target behavior according to the module configuration. Realize the safe and effective management of important information carriers, involved personnel, and related behaviors.

The asset identification and tracking system will essentially change the previous management mode. Based on the “process management” of important information, it not only includes the management of the object itself, but more importantly, it can generate, move, track, and track important information. The operation process of a series of events such as storage and inspection is tracked and managed. Management events are always accompanied by the development process of things. They are recorded, analyzed, and summarized, evaluated, judged, and issued early warnings and alarms according to pre-established rules. It can manage matters more humanely and get rid of the interference of human factors at the same time, embodying “humanities, science and technology, humanities management”.

RFID asset real-time positioning monitoring system solution

2.3 Application scheme

We use active electronic tags to correspond to each asset, and adopt a special model to keep the electronic tags and assets from being easily separated. Managers can quickly store, retrieve, and locate target items through the system, and can also monitor asset locations in designated areas in real time.

This system consists of three parts: front-end data acquisition equipment (active tag + reader), front-end management system and back-end management system. The following is a simple function description of this system:

The asset tag is fixed on the asset and serves as the only identity document for the asset; the reader can be deployed at doorways, passages, storage rooms, and other places that require special attention. Two modes can be used to monitor the movement of assets: one is continuous monitoring. For example, in the storage room, the reader will continue to collect the signal of the tag. If the tag cannot be read within a period of time, an alarm signal will be triggered; the other One is at the door or passage. If the reader collects an asset movement signal that has not been filed beforehand, an alarm signal will be triggered. The reader can process the signal collection of 200 tags at the same time, and the signals sent by the tags can be read when the assets are moving, and the system tracks and locates the assets in real time. In addition, assets do not move by themselves, so when assets move, someone must carry them in and out. When a person carries a supervised asset through the exit, the exit RFID reader will read the ID numbers of both the person and the asset, and query the server to find that the asset belongs to the scope of supervision and has not been authorized to leave. The antenna at the entrance will automatically send out sound and light alarms; the server sends the personnel and asset information represented by the two ID numbers to the asset management department and the security control room, and displays the monitoring point from which it flows. Make the relevant supervisory personnel arrive at the monitoring point where the alarm occurs as soon as possible, and carry out further processing.

2.4 Program features

3.2 System characteristics

1) Powerful and practical functions: The fixed asset management system includes asset addition, change, scrapping, damage, depreciation, lending, return, distribution and use of departments, use of department changes, management staff settings, asset exchange between departments, various reports Printing, combination query, etc. For each fixed asset, you can check out all the information of the asset from the purchase, entry, put into use, use department, depreciation, and even withdrawal from use, which can be recorded in detail. The dynamic query function can ensure that managers have comprehensive information at the first time, and the batch depreciation of assets can reduce a large amount of repetitive labor and ensure the accuracy of data. Automatic report preparation and printing are fast and accurate, which can save a lot of time for manual preparation of reports. The fixed asset management system centralizes the previously scattered management information and combines them into a management platform with overall functions.

2) Advanced radio frequency card management method: After each piece of newly purchased asset related data is input into the computer, the information will be written into the radio frequency card according to the corresponding software. The content of the radio frequency card can be set by the user, including the name of the fixed asset, Date of purchase, storage (department of use), etc. Attaching the radio frequency card to the physical objects of fixed assets not only clearly distinguishes the use sectors of fixed assets, but also brings great convenience to the inventory. The radio frequency counting machine reads the radio frequency card on the fixed assets, and the information in the card is automatically stored in the radio frequency counting machine. The radio frequency counting machine is similar to the one used in supermarkets, but there is a great difference. This kind of radio frequency counting machine is battery-powered and does not need to be connected by wires. The information is stored in the radio frequency counting machine. The inventory machine can store nearly 20,000 fixed asset codes, which increases the inventory speed by more than 90%, and at the same time avoids repeated inventory or wrong inventory. After reading the radio frequency card information, connect the radio frequency counting machine to the computer through the computer to quickly obtain the actual situation of the assets, and through the combination query, you can immediately find the changes in the profit and loss of the assets.

3) Efficient data transmission: The fixed asset management system can not only inquire about the situation of fixed assets on this machine, but also realize two-way transmission through the intranet and the Internet, so that various information and data can be transmitted by others at the same time. User sharing. 4) Unique authority management: In the fixed asset management system, the different responsibilities of each operator are fully considered, and the corresponding operation authority is formulated for each operator. The user’s identity and password are identified to ensure that different operators only Able to perform limited operations within the scope of their duties. This not only ensures the stability of the system, but also has a certain degree of flexibility to strengthen adaptability.

5) Friendly user interface, easy to learn: adopts the style of the Windows interface and is convenient for users to use, and implements a large number of the style of the directory tree in Windows, so that users can clearly understand the relationship between the department and the subordinates, asset categories and content. . A large number of function prompts enable users to smoothly complete corresponding tasks step by step as required, and reasonable menu layout enables users to easily find out what they want to perform. A large amount of comprehensive data appears in the form of reports and graphs, which can make it easier for users to understand and accept. Those engaged in fixed asset management only need to master basic computer use knowledge and carefully read the operating instructions to master the general operation of the system in a short period of time.
