RFID Fastener Cabinet The RFID Fastener Cabinet is a secure RFID asset tracking cabinet designed to improve control, visibility and accountability for fasteners and small industrial parts. It combines RFID item identification, electronic access control and inventory management software to help organisations understand what is inside the cabinet, who accessed it, what was removed and when an item was returned. The solution can be configured for nuts, bolts, screws, washers, rivets, clips and line-side consumables. Each tagged item is registered in the system and detected automatically when it enters or leaves the controlled cabinet. This reduces dependence on handwritten registers, manual stock counts and individual barcode scans. Real-Time RFID Inventory Visibility RFID readers and antennas identify authorised tagged items within the storage zone. The dashboard can display current stock, item status, user transactions, issue and return history, overdue items and inventory exceptions. Depending on the application, the system can also support minimum stock levels, replenishment alerts, expiry data, calibration dates, service schedules and custodian assignment. Controlled User Access Access can be provided through an RFID employee card, PIN, QR code or optional biometric authentication. User permissions may be configured by department, role, shift, item category or cabinet location. Every authorised opening and closing event is logged, creating a clear digital audit trail. How the Cabinet Works The user authenticates at the cabinet using the configured access method. The electronic lock releases for an authorised user. The user removes or returns one or more RFID-tagged items. The cabinet automatically reads the inventory after the door is closed. The software records the user, item, date, time and transaction status.

The correct RFID design depends on item material, tag type, cabinet density and the required read accuracy. Metal and liquid-containing items may require specialised tags and project testing.
