Abstract
In modern healthcare facilities, the efficient management of volatile resources such as medications, chemicals, and sensitive medical supplies is crucial for ensuring patient safety and operational efficiency. To tackle this issue, we propose an IoT-based intelligent storage system specifically designed for managing volatile resources in healthcare environments. This solution integrates advanced technologies including load cells for real-time weight measurement, RFID for secure identification and tracking of resources, and color sensors for automated inventory management. By leveraging these technologies, the system provides accurate monitoring of resource quantities, enhances security through RFID-based access control, and enables proactive inventory management to prevent stock out of critical supplies. Through a user-friendly interface accessible via web or mobile devices, hospital staff can remotely monitor resource levels, receive alerts for low stock and track resource usage patterns for informed decision-making. Moreover, the system facilitates seamless integration with existing hospital information systems for centralized data management and reporting. This solution aims to remain at the forefront of innovation, driving continuous improvement in resource management. The data-driven insights provided by the system enable more informed procurement decisions, optimizing inventory levels and minimizing excess stock. The implementation of this IoT-driven smart storage solution offers significant benefits, including improved patient safety, reduced operational costs, enhanced regulatory compliance, and streamlined inventory management processes.
