Application of RFID technology in power industry tool control

The normal operation of electric power is very important, and in order to ensure the normal work of the staff and the safe and normal operation of the power grid, the power supply department has strict regulations on the procurement, use, inspection and maintenance of electric equipment and tools. In order to further standardize the daily inspection, testing, scrapping and management of network manufacturers and purchases of electric safety tools and equipment, the whole process monitors daily inspections, periodic tests and other links to ensure the safety of electric safety tools and equipment. RFID electronic label automatic identification technology is applied to the management of tools and instruments. RFID technology has realized the automation and paperlessness of data collection, and has continuously improved the completeness and effectiveness of the management of power equipment and tools.

Power tool management is divided into the following main application scenarios according to usage and building conditions:

1) Management of tools and equipment in substation installation room

2)Management of tools and tools in live work area

3) Power supplies (warehouse) warehouse tools management

4) Other power tools (warehouse) warehouse

RFID手持式终端是便携、灵活nd easy to use, and can quickly perform data collection and inventory of tool RFID electronic tags. RFID handheld terminal has the characteristics of non-contact and high reading rate. The RFID electronic tags used can read and write and have a large storage capacity. 900M UHF RFID technology is mostly used in the management of power tools and tools, RFID passive electronic tags are bound to the tools, and the room is deployed in accordance with the characteristics of passive RFID technology. RFID identification equipment is installed in the tool cabinet or RFID identification equipment is installed at the door for entry and exit , Warehouse inventory collection.

RFID technology is used in the asset management system of the power industry to replace the traditional paper test certificate. Through the combination of modern computer network information technology and professional technology, professional software platform, the use of advanced technical means to realize the unified management of the grass-roots units, personnel, and insulation tools in all regions, and provide simple, unified and unified management for the enterprise "insulation tools and tools management" Operable methods and timely understanding of inspection and experiment results of tools and equipment provide a firm guarantee for the safety management of insulation tools and equipment in enterprises. Using the powerful calculation and statistics functions of the computer, it has changed the situation of relying on manual means to paste the test certificate every month and cannot perform analysis and statistics management, which greatly saves labor costs and improves work efficiency. The system can help establish standardized management procedures for insulating tools and appliances. Through the system, the specific procedures and requirements of the work will be loaded into the database, and the management of insulation tools and appliances of each branch can be unified according to the specifications, which is conducive to further standardizing the safety management of insulating tools and appliances. , Ensure the time and quality of inspections and tests, improve the work efficiency of employees, and enhance the effectiveness of safety management.

Operating procedures:

Tool purchase and storage: First, before the tool is stored, paste or hang the electronic label on the tool, and enter the tool's product name, model, specification, origin, brand name, packaging and other basic information, and divide the tool category, entry and classification After completion, place the tools in the corresponding position of the warehouse and make a record of the position.

工具贷款:阅读RFID information of the tools that need to be borrowed through the RFID handheld terminal, save the lending time, borrowing department and personnel, borrowing purpose and other related information in the data collector, and upload it through batch processing or wirelessly To the system.

Tool return: Use the RFID handheld terminal to read the information in the tool tag and check it with the information retained when lent. After confirming that it is correct, place the tool in the corresponding position in the warehouse, and the return procedure is completed.

Verification of measurement tools: According to relevant national regulations, the measurement tools shall be verified by the designated professional inspection department on a regular basis. After verification, write verification information into the system.

Tool scrap: When the tool reaches the designated service life or is damaged and cannot be used anymore, it must be scrapped. After reading the RFID electronic label information of the device through the RFID handheld terminal, the device is scrapped after entering the scrap reason, the handler, the approver and other relevant information in the system. The scrapped equipment information will be kept in the scrapped tool file information for inquiry.

Tool inventory: Enter the inventory status, use the RFID handset to sequentially collect the tool tags on the tool rack, enter and upload to the background, through the RFID electronic tags installed on the tools, the number of each tool can be collected, the background system Then complete the inventory of warehouse tools and generate reports based on the collected quantity data.

Back-end system management: Through the RFID electronic tags installed on the tools, the warehousing, lending, return, inventory, and transfer information of each tool can be collected, entered, and uploaded to the back-end. The back-end system then completes the management of the tool warehouse based on the collected data information. Managers make inquiries and statistics and generate reports as needed.

The core of power warehouse tools and appliances management is to optimize user experience requirements, improve the management level of power warehouse tools and appliances through technology and technology, reduce labor costs, and can monitor the status of tools in the warehouse in real time, without missing or misreading.
