Implementación de prototipo de un sistema de control y ubicación de inventario de infraestructura tecnológica por medio de radiofrecuencia.

Abstract

The control of assets of a data center is a process that allows a better treatment of their technological equipment. This control can be done with RF Code technology and its infrastructure, which are event control software, through specific equipment and software functionalities. Based on these needs, it was proposed the implementation of a prototype of a control and location of inventory system of technological infrastructure by means of radiofrequency to attend the control of assets. For the research and design of the prototype, the qualitative approach, the descriptive research, the analytical and inductive methods and interviews and observation as techniques to raise information were used. The prototype was implemented and it was observed that the information that the tags transmit is reflected in the RF Code software with the option of presenting, as visual support, nested maps that indicate the events that happen to the assets; and the performance tests were performed. As an added value, it is noted that, depending on the license of the RF Code software provider, configurations such as liquid detection, SMTP service are enabled for alerts to reach the administrator, and options such as dry contacts, PDU sensor and differential pressure, which they could also be configured. Basic recommendations include extending the battery life of the tags, sensors, room detectors, and asking the provider to improve the user interface, especially in the nested maps.
