[HELP WANTED] RFID locker technology #5

Open coul opened 6 years ago

DM must focus on creating a balance between accessibility and inventory security. If you have yet to explore the RFID locker technology located to the left of the entrance into the electronics lab, it’s encouraged you do so. Gus & Co. has made readily available a powerful technology which could enhance many areas of our community from personal storage to our own Amazon package delivery station outside the front entrance to DMS. Tool check-out is also an obvious use of this system.

It is proposed that DM create a similar system as the RFID locker currently showcased with slight modifications to create an equipment checkout system using Raspberry Pi weight sensor software to help ensure the contents of the bin being returned is the same weight as the inventory which was checked out. Discrepancies in returned items would be logged with sent alerts and followed up.
