Design and Implementation of Computerized Lab System

Effective laboratory management is essential for ensuring smooth operations, resource availability, and accountability within educational and research institutions. This project introduces a Comprehensive Laboratory Inventory and Tracking System designed to assist lab technicians in efficiently managing laboratory assets. The system provides a structured and automated approach to inventory management, categorization, and tracking to minimize resource wastage, misplacement, and inefficiencies in laboratory operations. The system allows lab technicians to add and categorize items based on their type, such as mouse, computer, laptop, scanner, projector. This categorization enables a well-structured inventory, facilitating quick access to information about available resources. The system maintains a centralized database where all registered items are stored, ensuring real-time tracking of laboratory assets. By providing a clear and organized overview of all available resources, the system enhances laboratory efficiency and prevents redundant purchases. One of the system's key functionalities is its ability to track borrowed items. Laboratory equipment and devices are often shared among faculty members, school staff, and researchers. The system allows users to log borrowing transactions by entering details such as the borrower's name, the item borrowed, the date of borrowing, and the expected return date. thereby minimizing the chances of lost or unreturned items. Additionally, the system features a damage tracking module, which enables lab technicians to report and monitor damaged, broken, or malfunctioning items. This feature ensures that faulty equipment is documented for repairs or replacements, reducing the risks of using defective devices and enhancing safety in the laboratory. Through regular monitoring, lab administrators can also analyze damage patterns to identify frequently affected equipment, aiding in making better procurement and maintenance decisions.
