These technologies can also be used for indoor tracking of equipment wearing a tag. The GPS systems are today most well known location tracking systems. These systems are not capable of pinpointing exact locations or locations of an entity within a building or on a particular floor or room. So we propose a smart asset tracking system it allows tracking the location of object.. In the proposed system it makes use of RF technology along with IoT to achieve this system. This system has the location tracking capability to exact room it is currently located in. Key Words: Asset tracking, Internet of Things (IoT). 1. INTRODUCTION Nowadays, safety is one of the major issues. IoT Based Asset Tracking System is focused with the tracking of assets in hospitals. Asset tracking is the method of tracking an asset either by tracking RFID tag and reader by scanning the barcode, etc. The proposed IoT Asset Tracking System has been developed to ensure safety and security of assets like medical equipment or people. The major advantage is the use of sensors like sound sensor and vibration sensor that sense and alert. Radio Frequency Identifier consists of transmitter and the receiver. Transmitter is placed with the object to be tracked which sends radio waves to the receiver. If the tracked object moves out of frequency range, an alert message or call will be sent to specified guardians through Global System for Mobile communication. This web application is used to view and track the medical equipment. Hospital management are groups of people who act as the central point of control within hospitals. These individuals may be previous or current clinicians, or individuals with other hospitals. Indeed, the IoT based asset tracking system for hospital management enhances the operational capabilities and boosts transparency in reporting process. There are the aspects to increase the safety of women, children, people with mental disorder and any valuable items through the technology of Radio Frequency along with IoT which comprises of the various tracking systems in asset tracking for hospital management. Asset tracking is the method of tracking an asset either by tracking RFID tag and reader by scanning the barcode, etc. The block diagram of proposed system is shown in fig.1.1. It shows the flow of information in the system. Fig.1.1 Block Diagram The system consists of two types of users as follows:  Doctor (Admin)  Patient (User). Data of patients can be stored and retrieved from the database server using Internet. Each and every user access the related data stored on database server using their Web Application. 1.1 Objectives of the proposed system  To create high professional IoT Based Asset Tracking System for Hospital Management.  To monitor the medical equipment.  To track the location of medical equipment.  Send quick messages via Short Message Service and call when it moves out of bound.  To ensure maximum security.  Enable tracking by providing current location. 1.2 Proposed System The Importance of Asset Tracking one way to quickly improve asset management is by utilizing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to automatically track those assets. A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) asset tracking system uses
