RFID Applications in Chemical Storage Management System

The management of chemical inventory in laboratories is necessary for safety purpose as well as fulfilling regulatory compliance. As for academia laboratories, frequent inspections and data updating of chemicals storage are very crucial to prevent unexpected accidents to students and researchers. In most academia laboratories, management of chemicals are normally still being done manually which is very time consuming. As a result, the report data is not being updated and expired chemicals may accidentally being used. This book describes a research that proposes UHF Gen2 Passive Tags Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)and web-based technologies to be used in the chemical inventory management system to help shorten the inventory process time.
