Research on asset management system based on RFID Internet of Things technology

With the development of science and technology, the Internet has become the trend of the times. RFID Internet of Things technology has also developed based on the Internet. Using RFID Internet of Things technology to effectively manage assets can ensure the normal operation of the enterprise, improve work efficiency, save resources, and effectively avoid the safety hazards caused by human management in traditional asset management. With the development of enterprises and the increase in the number of assets, traditional asset management has been difficult to meet the actual needs. Relying on RFID Internet of Things technology to effectively manage assets can ensure the safety of asset management, improve work efficiency, and reduce the cost of enterprise asset management.


1. Overview of Internet of Things Technology


The Internet of Things refers to a network technology that connects objects and the Internet through information sensing devices to exchange and communicate information to achieve intelligent identification, positioning, monitoring and management. The use of RFID Internet of Things technology is a technology that uses radio frequency signals to achieve contactless information transmission through spatial coupling to achieve identification purposes. The asset management through RFID Internet of Things technology is to activate the electronic tag through the radio frequency signal of RFID, so as to obtain the asset data and effectively manage the assets.



2. Advantages of using RFID Internet of Things technology to manage assets


2.1 Asset registration is more accurate


Traditional asset management enters information manually, which may cause errors in asset data due to human factors, and finally cause chaos in the entire asset database. Enterprises also need to hire professional personnel to enter assets, which is also an expense for enterprises; some asset entry staff lack a sense of responsibility and perfunctorily do the entry work, resulting in serious errors in the data, which is not conducive to the development of subsequent work and seriously affects work efficiency. The management of assets through RFID Internet of Things technology can effectively avoid the mistakes caused by human factors in traditional asset management. Asset registration can complete long-distance data collection and modification through RFID reading and writing technology, and can record asset information in detail to ensure the accuracy of asset registration and the reliability of data. The use of RFID Internet of Things technology to manage assets can save labor costs, ensure the accuracy of asset data, improve work efficiency, and promote the development of enterprises.


2.2 It is conducive to improving the security of assets


RFID can automatically sense and locate equipment. If the asset is illegally taken out, the RFID will issue an alarm in time, and the background can know the asset situation in time and deal with it in time. This effectively improves the security of assets, prevents the loss of assets, and saves costs for enterprises.



3. Implementation of IoT-based asset management technology


3.1 QR code management module


When managing assets, you can use QR codes to match asset information. One QR code corresponds to one asset information. If you want to find a certain asset information, just scan the QR code. When changing the asset information, the QR code must also be updated and replaced. If the asset information is abolished, the corresponding QR code must also be abolished to prevent the asset information from being disordered, which is not conducive to asset management.


3.2 Daily asset management module


The use of QR codes by asset equipment is conducive to the effective management of assets. Asset managers can query and change asset information by scanning QR codes and update asset information in time. The query of asset information can not only be operated through the computer, but also through the mobile device to scan the QR code, which is very convenient. The asset manager queries the asset information through the mobile device, and the mobile application will also have the query record of the asset manager, which can supervise the behavior of the asset manager to a certain extent to ensure the security and accuracy of the asset information.


3.3 Structure of the asset management system based on the Internet of Things


Use RFID technology to tag the asset equipment, and effectively manage the asset information through the RFID tag. RFID can obtain the target information by identifying the tag through radio signals without contacting the target, but this requires high requirements for RFID technology, and special equipment is required, which is costly. Scanning the QR code can obtain asset information, and it can be scanned by mobile devices, which is very convenient and practical. Query and manage asset information anytime and anywhere through mobile devices, which improves work efficiency.



4. Application of RFID technology in asset management


4.1 To improve work efficiency, manage the entire life cycle of fixed assets


When entering asset information, the asset manager will attach the electronic tag to the asset equipment and scan the electronic tag with RFID to enter the asset information. When the asset manager operates the asset information, RFID will automatically scan the electronic tag, read the asset information, and send the asset information to the server for processing, so that the assets can be tracked and managed. In order to achieve full electronicization and intelligent management of the entire life cycle of assets, RFID technology should be fully utilized.


4.2 To optimize the monitoring of fixed assets and realize dynamic management of fixed assets


RFID technology can be used to update asset information in a timely manner. When fixed assets are used, the information of the user, the time of use, etc. is entered into the fixed asset management tag, and the used fixed assets are supervised in real time, thereby realizing dynamic management of fixed assets. The use of RFID technology can manage assets anytime and anywhere through mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablets. Asset managers can easily query and use assets, effectively simplifying the asset management process, effectively avoiding the tedious process and mistakes of manual asset information entry in traditional asset management, saving costs, and improving the efficiency of asset management.


4.3 Implement multi-level management to strengthen management awareness and clarify management responsibilities


Asset management is very operational in enterprises, especially with the use of RFID technology, which can fully play the role of asset managers, divide the work of asset managers in detail, and effectively improve work efficiency. The information of each asset manager is entered into the asset management system. Asset managers need to identify their identities before they can operate and manage asset information, which also enhances the security of asset information. The use of RFID technology can fully play the role of asset managers' intelligence, strengthen their management awareness, clarify management responsibilities, and implement multi-level management.


4.4 To improve the efficiency of asset use and strengthen the daily management of assets


In actual asset management, the lack of business communication and contact between management departments can easily lead to disorder in asset accounts; some enterprises lack a scientific and effective asset management system, and cannot enter effective asset information, resulting in loopholes in asset accounts, unable to effectively manage assets, and low work efficiency; in fixed asset management, the inventory of assets is not timely enough, or incorrect information occurs. If RFID technology is used to effectively manage assets, these situations can be avoided, resources can be effectively allocated, and the efficiency of asset management can be improved.


4.5 Build a multi-purpose online supervision system for confidential carriers


Build a multi-functional online supervision system that integrates active wireless, active wired, and passive wireless, which can adapt to different application scenarios. For example, large confidential carrier equipment (such as cipher machines) can use active wireless modules, small equipment (such as I cards, important files, etc.) can use passive wireless modules, and strong wireless interference environments can use active wired modules. RFID technology can realize real-time monitoring and intelligent management of confidential carriers. The system defines a safe area for confidential carriers, in which the equipment can move freely; at the same time, when the confidential carrier leaves the safe area without authorization, the management platform automatically alarms to prevent the confidential carrier from leaving the safe area without authorization. To solve the defects of the traditional manual management of confidential carrier loss prevention mechanism, an intelligent, efficient, and unattended confidential carrier loss prevention management solution is proposed to simplify the administrator's management procedures for confidential carriers, thereby improving the administrator's work efficiency. For the staff who supervise confidential carriers, permissions must be set, and the supervision system cannot be changed at will. Not all staff can supervise confidential carriers and set hierarchical permissions.



5 Problems with asset management based on RFID Internet of Things technology


5.1 Lack of talents who can use RFID Internet of Things technology for asset management


Although most companies in my country have majors and courses related to asset management and information technology, there are few talents who have both, and companies have not combined the majors related to these two aspects, which makes it lack of talents who can use RFID Internet of Things technology for asset management, and there is no talent to be cultivated. Or some professionals are not professional enough, have little practical experience, and appear amateurish in the actual operation process, which makes mistakes easy to occur, and is not conducive to improving work efficiency. Due to the rapid development of science and technology, information is updated quickly, which requires professional talents to learn and apply it to actual work, improve work efficiency, and promote the development of enterprises.


5.2 Imperfect asset management system


There is a lack of specific systems and standards for asset management, and there is no strict accountability system. If there are mistakes in asset management, how should the relevant responsible persons be punished and what systems should be followed for accountability? These are all issues that need to be resolved. my country's RFID Internet of Things technology level and advancement have not caught up with the most advanced in the world, and the use of RFID Internet of Things technology for asset management has high requirements, which makes it difficult to use RFID Internet of Things technology for asset management and development. It is easy to fall into development difficulties, and enterprises will spend more costs, which will eventually lead to low work efficiency and waste of resources.


5.3 The quality of asset management staff is not high and lacks a sense of responsibility


Due to cost limitations, the salary of asset management staff is low, and the staff's work enthusiasm is low. They will perfunctorily handle asset management work, and when problems arise, they will only shirk responsibility. Some asset management staff lack experience, are not very clear about asset management regulations, have limited skills, and may even operate improperly, seriously affecting work efficiency.


5.4 Lack of supervision of asset management


Some asset management staff are not clear about the relevant asset management regulations when they are working, which leads to big problems in their work. Asset management staff should first have a thorough understanding of the relevant systems and implement them, mediate and supervise the contradictions and disputes arising from the work, and impose severe penalties on asset management staff who violate relevant regulations. In the process of supervision and inspection, some asset management staff, in order to save trouble, unilaterally pursue speed and ignore quality, omit some procedures, cut corners in work, do not strictly follow procedures, and even staff dereliction of duty and corruption. Some asset management staff engage in collusion between officials and businessmen, turn a blind eye to certain things, and do not strictly supervise according to relevant standards, which may lead to all previous efforts being wasted and seriously damage the interests of the enterprise. Some asset management staff will engage in corruption and tamper with asset data, resulting in errors in the data in order to profit from it. This requires asset management staff to set an example, strictly prohibit acts of corruption and embezzlement, and never accept bribes. They must be upright and honest.
