In this project, I will propose and develop a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) based Hospital Linen Monitoring System through gantry using JAVA to UTAR hospital, in order to provide low power consumption, low operating costs, and improved monitoring. This project will provide the student with embedded,programming, networking, and database analysis skill and knowledge. The proposed system consists of RFID tag, and RFID Reader, Antenna. The hospital Linen Management System is designed to detect, count, record, and report on the hospital linen incoming and outgoing process. The outgoing process is usually sending linen from the hospital to the laundry plant for washing. RFID reader and data processing system are using software developed by a combination of programme. The user or staff in the UTAR hospital will be able to track or monitor the hospital's linen, which includes bed sheets, towels, pillowcases, and other medical linens. The benefit of implementing RFID for linen management is that it reduces human mistakes in counting things and ensures a smooth laundry item cleaning procedure is carried out. The database tracking application allows the user to keep track of the number of linens that come in and go out of the hospital. As the objects pass through the RFID scanner, their unique IDs will be immediately identified. The database will record and display the number of RFID tags that have been detected at the moment and record it in the database. As a result, the hospital staff or back-end management will be able to track the status of certain linen. Users will also be able to check the database record system for any missing linen.
