TLD Rack Automation System
The TLD Rack Automation System is a network-connected, RFID-enabled rack solution designed for the secure storage, identification, and monitoring of TLD badges in radiation safety and regulated laboratory environments. The system ensures server-validated slot assignment, real-time slot-level status indication, centralized monitoring, and automated alert generation, thereby improving traceability, operational accuracy, and compliance.
The architecture integrates RFID/NFC readers, embedded PoE controllers, Ethernet-based networking, centralized server processing, and cellular communication into a modular and scalable rack system. The system is designed for continuous, unattended operation with minimal manual intervention, making it suitable for radiation safety laboratories and personnel dosimetry management facilities.
