Abstract

At present, the inventory and identification of Measurements, Measures, Scales, and Equipment (UTTP) in legal metrology activities still uses conventional methods, namely using register books and certificate archives. To increase work effectiveness and efficiency, this study designed a prototype of a UTTP data recording system based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) as an alternative to using RFID technology to replace conventional systems in terms of recording and storing test result data. This study used quantitative methods. The data obtained will be processed and analyzed so that a conclusion is drawn. The data from this prototype reading can be converted to Microsoft Excel in the form of a UTTP data set file which is useful for metrological supervision and recording of State Property (BMN) in the laboratory. For the prototype performance test designed, several tests were carried out, including system function testing, tag detection distance testing, testing with barrier media, reader reading angle testing, tag detection average time testing. Based on the test result data, the prototype designed has served to identify UTTP. The maximum RFID tag detection distance is 2.5 cm for card type, 1 cm for sticker and key type. The read time interval of each tag is less than 1 second. Reader readout is optimal at an angle of 45º-90º. Testing also proved the effect of reader barrier material on tag readability.
