Tool management is crucial for ensuring job safety and improving work efficiency. This study aims to explore the application of electronic tag technology in intelligent inspection of tools and instruments, in order to improve management efficiency and safety. The study achieved the application research of RFID in intelligent inspection of tools through the design and development of electronic tags using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and the optimization of RFID technology. This study designed a series of experiments to test and compare RFID, Near Field Communication (NFC), and Quick Response Code (QR Code) technologies. The conclusion section shows that RFID technology performs the best in recognition accuracy, reaching 97%, while the accuracy of NFC and QR Code is only 84% and 83%, respectively. In terms of response time, RFID also demonstrates advantages, with a maximum response time of only 57ms. As for maintenance costs, the long-term maintenance cost of RFID is also lower than that of NFC and QR Code, mainly due to the maturity and extensive application foundation of RFID technology. Taking all factors into consideration, the application of RFID technology in intelligent inspection of tools provides higher efficiency and reliability, making it an ideal choice at present.
