As the global elderly population grows exponentially, including Hong Kong. Many older adults live longer and suffer from chronic diseases. Creating a huge need for community services. At the same time, manpower shortage is a major problem in the community service industry. As a result, the industry is under increasing pressure to keep up with the demand for its services. The project develops an IoT network and system infrastructure for community service centers. To support a much-need function for asset management efficiency.
The RFID smart asset management system consists of three main parts:
Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) RFID reader system. Multi-directional antenna platform and back-end inventory management system. The smart asset management is a mobile platform that can move freely in all directions. As well as an intelligent multi-directional antenna platform. That can scan multiple RFID tags in different directions through a seamless scanning mechanism. The developed platform is also capable of scanning and locating individual mark items for easy item finding. The mobile platform makes of light-weight yet strong material and has smooth and soft rubber wheels. A multi-directional scanning RFID antenna mounted on top of a raise platform so that it can scan large areas seamlessly. The RFID tag EPC will send to the back-end inventory management system for processing and inventory status updates. And a rechargeable batteries poweres the entire system .
These technologies help improve the operational efficiency and productivity of service centers in the areas of inventory and asset search.
