Mobile medical equipment is an important equipment yet it is very fragile. Most of the
equipment failure are due to inappropriate handling. Worsen if the time and the
location of the incident happened are unknown. Therefore, this project is proposed to
design a monitoring system to locate the mobile equipment and to alert the officer in
charge. The system is embedded with a piezoelectric and Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID). The system operated by RFID reader and tags by using Arduino
as a microcontroller to record the identity of mobile radiography. When there is an
impact acts on piezoelectric sensor, a text message is sent to the officer in charge by
using Global System for Mobile communication module. The system is functioned to
alert and give information about the date and location of where the occurrence
happened. This help to minimize the case of negligence in handling the equipment.
