Abstract

In this study, an attempt has been taken to design and prototype a cost effective security locker system to ensure the safety of the valuable objects and belongings of people in public places. To combat unfortunate cases of thefts or loses at public places, this paper aims to represent a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based security locker system that can protect the valuable belongings in individual boxes of the system. A microcontroller is the heart of the system, with a stored database. An RFID reader reads information from RFID tags to match with the stored data in the microcontroller to allow access. Users of this system can use the RFID tags to lock their belongings inside the locker and take them out after completing their respective businesses in the public places. The proposed security system can be a major step in preventing valuable item stealth or losses in public places as this system has been designed in such a way that only the authorized owner of the locker or the admin of the system can access the locker.
