Applications and Implications

FINAL PROJECT:

Fab Academy 2017 , My project is called "Issue your tool"- its a tool managment system which is RFID enabled. So typically any person in a fablab/makerspace wears an wrist band which contains a rfid tag with an UID assigned to that person. In order to have him get issued a tool-he walks to a RFID scanner-scans his wrist-pick a tool and checkout by scanning again. On checking out-the Ir sensor of the tool holders changes LED status to red or green based on the absence or presence of the tool.

OBJECTIVE

To make a tool management system in a defined space but in a portable form which has Anti theft system and also user based authorisation , easy and quick to use, instant tool status updation and confirmation of your sign in and sign out.

My project is not only elecronics and Communication based, it also involves lot of details with regard to management, usage and functions of tools.

Plus after Neil's suggestion i have scaled down my final project to this plus will be leaving some features and details for the next person who would like to develop this further.

Future Scope

I will be further working on this in my Makerspace to achieve SD card, RTC to save data and Also Interface it with mobile with the help of GSM module to connect text messages as reminders to return tool.
