I .INTRODUCTION
The type and quantity of units equipment increasing
rapidly with modern and information technology to speed
up the process, leading to greatly increase the complexity of
equipment management, which requires a more flexible and
feedback faster equipment management. So grasp the
equipment state and strengthen equipment management is
extremely important. A new form of the demand,
highlighting the following aspects of the problem.
Information technology of equipment management
system is limited to the part of the equipment, most
equipment information yet to achieve integration and
sharing. Various units equipment management information
sharing and communication is poor. This limits the
efficiency of the equipment used.
Due to our limitations, some of the equipment
management related information recording is still limited in
the paper medium. large amount of data and data updates
difficulties will inevitably lead to errors generated because
of human negligence.
Part of the equipment information exists in the form of
test reports, minutes and daily records that finding relevant
information needs to read a lot of information, which cause
information to find difficult.
In order to further promote the regularization of
equipment management, build a more efficient and speedy
equipment management platform, using the Internet of
Things technology to build equipment management system
which RFID tags is affixed to each equipment, electronic
information file is creating, management platform is
provided for equip managers through the network. System
is effective, accurate and intelligent to acquire and identify
all equipment within the unit. managers can quickly query,

SYSTEM BASED ON INTERNET OF THINGS
The realization of the Internet of things is mainly
divided into three levels of perception layer[1-2], network
layer, application layer, and the introduction of the concept
of the Internet of Things to improve existing equipment
management system, it can be divided into three layers as
shown in Fig 1.
Figure 1 Equipment management system stratified
The application technology of perception layer is the
RFID technology.
The main function of the network layer is network
management and data maintenance. The main purpose of
network management is to ensure the connectivity of the
network link, network independence and network
information security[3]. Data maintenance through the
management and maintenance of server to ensure database
security and stability, no loss of data in any case, error-free
and at the same time to achieve data synchronization of the
entire network.
Application layer reflects the three main applications of
the whole system users. Equipment inventory

SYSTEM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
Equipment management system based on Internet of
Things technology combined information sensing device
such as radio frequency identification (RFID) devices and
networks to form a comprehensive equipment information
management network, and build corresponding equipment
management database, which can achieve automatic
equipment office, intelligent business management,
scientific security and decision-making and Immediate
security and defense, so as to solve the issues that original
equipment manual management efficiency is low, query
records is inconvenient, is hard to count and report and has
low level of security and defense.
A. Hardware Design
Equipment management system based on Internet of
Things consist of labels, barcode printers equipment
materials (Affixed with electronic tags or bar codes),
sensors, sensor reader (RFID or bar code), network
equipment, RFID middleware, database servers, terminal
computer. Label and barcode printers, equipment materials,
sensors, readers are layer of information collection; the
FRID middleware belong to information filtering layer;
network device belong to information transport layer;
database server and the terminal compute belong to
information management layer. Its composition is shown in

The equipment information collection system is a
collection of RFID technology, bar code technology, RFID
technology and long-range active RFID technology. The
business processes of equipment information collection
system can be divided into the following three steps:
First, using labels, bar code label printer to grade and
input information for label and bar code. Electronic labels
and barcode ID number as the only equipment entity
number, and paste in the equipment entity, then entry
original equipment information to the database according to
the number[6]. Then the reader to read and write
information, which RFID reader is installed at the location
of the storage of materials (for example, warehouse
entrance) and use a handheld RFID reader. When the the
equipment entities close to antenna coverage of the reader,
the RFID system perform read and write operations to
complete the data acquisition and change. Finally, use
equipment management database to manage information.
When information and matching database is readed, then
automatically save the information in the system database,
and application software system to perform data query,
update, authorization, print and management.
Wen equipment storage, management system uses bar
code label printers generate a single product barcode or
label of goods that belong to warehouse internal
management, according to each batch of goods information.
RFID tag on the box contain supplies quantitative
information in tne box, the RFID tag contains the
information of the goods on the shelf and shelf
correspondence on the shelves. When storage testing, first
barcode recognizer recognize items in the box through
RFID tag information on the box, then management system
process to generate the RFID tags, finally, fixed RFID
reader to read, so it can guarantee RFID applications
environment in the warehouse. Equipment out of the library,
with a handheld PDA reader or fixed reader individually
read out library items information, then the information is
uploaded.
B. Software Design
The system uses B / S structure, background uses
SQLserver database, through the RFID RF equipment
realize storage, out of the library, inquiries, monitoring
management and other work equipment of supporting
documents.
