Tool Tracking System

RFID-based tool checkout and tracking system to improve accountability and reduce lost tooling across the shop floor. The system tracks who has what tool, when it was checked out, and flags overdue returns.

This is a student-led development project, with hardware integration handled by electronics students and software built by programming students. The goal is a practical system that works in a real shop environment, not a theoretical exercise.

System components

• RFID tags for high-value tools and equipment
• Checkout stations at tool cribs
• Web dashboard for tracking and reporting
• Integration with member badge system
