Abstract
Equipment surveillance or tracking is a hard-to-accomplish mission for a multi-locations company. This study examines a complete security system in Alexandria and EL-Dekheila ports of Egypt, as case study, to track equipment location. The system uses RFID (radio frequency identification) and Arduino kit as hardware to detect equipment motion, and visual studio and SQL (structured query language) as software to produce reports. The original place of equipment is saved as a reference. IR and RFID sensors are used at every department’s gate for IT access and for detecting and decoding the received equipment’s RFID card and ID data. Visual studio and SQL help in issuing the report on each equipment’s location and movement time. The system sends instant email messages and cellular phone messages to the control room.
