Abstract

The use of information and communication technology (ICT) makes it possible to propose solutions to optimize the management of people and processes. This work presents the development of a remote monitoring system of safety equipment using Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID), managed by a software, also developed in this research. The routine combined laboratory testing for hosting and system validation and testing at a construction site for verification of the system in an environment of real construction. The model proved to be efficient in the identification and localization of the equipment through the indication of its position using images in plant. The model has also supplied graphical reports showing the characteristics of each equipment presenting the following data: name, construction, placement, brand, material, conservation, revision and person responsible. The development of managerial tools contributes to the advance of the security equipment optimized management in the construction site.
