Implementing the Management Information System of School Properties by Using RFID Technology

[[abstract]]With the development of science and technology, the amount of teaching equipment also relatively increases at school, and the types of the school property are various. Moreover, it is very frequent for teachers and students to use the teaching equipment during the school hour. Therefore, making an inventory becomes a tough task. The traditional way to solve this problem is by using paper card. But, it is inefficient. In the last years, the bar code becomes another popular choice due to its low cost. However, it is still time-consuming and strenuous such that it is unable to deal with the property loan and inventory problem. Recently, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) brings to the attention of the industry, the government, and the relevant organizations, especially the application to the logistics management. RFID technology has the characteristics of reading by gross, data writing capability, reacting immediately, and tracing capability. Through the reading devices, it doesn’t need to contact with the property and could identify the property in long distance. The relevant property information can be gotten efficiently and quickly by using the RFID technology. Therefore, building a property management information system with RFID technology will improve the flaws of the traditional paper card and the bar code. In addition, the database in the system can also store the relevant information to provide the operation management and decision analysis. The article describes how to apply the technologies of RFID and PDA（Personal Digital Assistant）to build a information system for the school property management. The property management information system can prevent the waste of time, manpower, and resource. Moreover, the system will achieve the objects of borrowing the property easily and making the inventory correct
