В одном художественном музее имеется более 30,000 произведения современного и актуального искусства, previously managed using paper ledgers and barcodes. A comprehensive inventory required a two-week closure, mobilizing all museum staff, and achieving an accuracy rate of only about 85%. Records of changes in collection location were delayed, often taking several days to locate specific works. More seriously, during loan exhibitions, blind spots existed in the monitoring of artwork circulation, creating immense security and insurance pressures. To address these challenges, в 2023, this art museum officially partnered with RFIDHY to launch a comprehensive collection digitization and RFID smart warehouse upgrade project.
The project implementation was divided into three phases:
The first phase was “Digital Identity Assignment”
RFIDHY’s expert team categorized and assessed the collection, customizing invisible embedded RFID -теги (for framed oil paintings) and wearable RFID artifact tags (for sculptures) for different types of works. Одновременно, high-definition image capture and structured data entry of basic information for all works were completed, establishing a complete digital archive on the “Tracking” платформа.
The second phase was “Smart Environment Deployment”
In the new storage facility, all intelligent mobile shelving units integrated shelf-type RFID antenna arrays, enabling real-time visualization of the collection’s location. High-sensitivity RFID access doors were installed at the storage entrances, automatically recording all entry and exit activities.
The third phase was “Process Reengineering”
Industrial-grade RFID handheld inventory devices were provided to staff, and the entire workflow from receiving, inventorying, retrieval to exhibition was optimized based on the new system.
Project Results
Первый, inventory efficiency saw a qualitative leap: the entire inventory period was reduced from 15 Дни до 2 дни, and the accuracy rate increased to over 99.8%.
Во-вторых, the system enables “one-click search” for artifact location. Entering the name in the system instantly displays the location on the mobile shelving unit, including the shelf number, reducing search time from an average of several hours to minutes.
В-третьих, it achieves closed-loop traceability management of cultural relics throughout the entire process. From its initial release, транспорт, exhibition, to its return, the movement trajectory and timestamps of any artwork are automatically recorded, forming an irrefutable audit chain. This significantly reduces human error and risk, resulting in discounted insurance premiums. This project has become a benchmark case for the intelligent construction of art museums in China.
Будущее
The museum is planning to develop interactive guided tours based on this system. В будущем, visitors can use their mobile phones’ NFC function to approach artworks at authorized locations to access richer multimedia explanations, creation stories, and even past exhibition records, upgrading static displays to a deeply interactive experience. This is precisely the extended value of an RFID-based smart museum interactive system.
