Smart E-Locker System using IoT

Abstract

In order to enhance daily life and actualize the Internet-of-Things (IoT) goal, several IoT gadgets have been created. IoT, which is based on the information-sharing capabilities of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), is developing into one of the key technologies that is being used in a wide range of applications. Security and Privacy are necessities in today’s world. Security systems are being used exponentially more frequently in our daily lives and we all know that this is an information era where all transactions are through the exchange of data. The idea behind this smart e-locker system primarily came from the asset security system utilized in bank lockers. This smart e-locker system, triggers an alarm when a user attempts to enter a guarded area by scanning an unregistered token. This system includes unique and personalized tags that allow only the authorized user to enter the secured premises. The most unique feature is that the log of the number of people approach the locker or the secured area is stored in adafruit cloud. If an unauthorized user is trying to enter the secured area by scanning the unregistered token the buzzer will be activated automatically causing the guards to be notified and an alert is send to person in-charge through e-mail. This paper demonstrates how RFID technology improves security and convenience, which will be useful in the future.
