This is a management system for tracking items using IC tags. It reliably records the history of items taken out and returned, preventing omissions and errors in ledger entries, while also supporting the early detection of forgotten returns and losses. Additionally, it enables efficient inventory checks through bulk reading with RFID handheld devices. In traditional item management operations, the following issues often arise: ♦ Handwriting or Excel input into the ledger The process of recording in the ledger or entering data into Excel during item check-out and return is cumbersome, leading to discrepancies due to entry errors. ♦ Individual confirmation during inventory checks It is necessary to take items out one by one from boxes or shelves for verification, which consumes a significant amount of time for inventory tasks. ♦ Management through ledgers Due to management via paper or Excel ledgers, it is difficult to detect unreturned items or losses early and respond quickly. This system addresses these challenges.

At Yutaka Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the development and manufacturing of electrical components for railway vehicles prioritize quality and safety, establishing a high-level quality management system. They strictly manage the usage and calibration status of over 600 tools and measuring instruments, and have begun exploring tool management utilizing RFID technology to further enhance quality. Challenges Before Implementation Workload Associated with Calibration Management Although the management and recording of calibration deadlines for measuring instruments like calipers are thorough, the workload was high. Difficulty in Understanding Usage Status While an asset management ledger is maintained, there were no records of usage, making it difficult to grasp the inventory status. Lack of Transparency in Usage History The frequency of use at the individual item level could not be aggregated, leaving the effective utilization of assets unclear. Features of the Implemented System By utilizing RFID technology, tools and measuring instruments equipped with IC tags can be registered for checkout and return simply by touching them to a reader. By registering calibration deadlines in the system, a warning is displayed on the screen when an attempt is made to check out an expired measuring instrument, preventing misuse in advance. This has enabled more precise quality management without increasing the workload.
