Application of RFID Based Inventory Management System in Power Project Sites

Abstract
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device) is a modern method to track different items and control the inventory. Now a days, many companies are using this technology to enhance their material management. Using this technology, the human effort to manage the stores and time taken to search any particular material can be reduced and the efficiency of the whole process can be increased to a satisfactory level.
Hitherto application of RFID is confined to closed stores and non metallic environment, but what about open yards and metal intensive environment? Hence a reliable, satisfactory and authenticated solution is needed to track different type materials in dense metal intensive environment under all-weather conditions with less human effort and minimal search time. This paper illustrates about the technology developed by BHEL R&D to accomplish the task of implementing RFID based inventory management system in closed stores and in open yards at power project sites in a highly metallic environment.
