In recent years, security risks of equipment are very prominent. In order to ensure normal operations, equipment inspection is required to standardization. Information technology is an important means of ensuring the safe operation of equipment. In this paper, a new equipment inspection system based on Zigbee is presented. This system is composed of data management center, wireless gateway, wireless relay routers, hand-held terminals and RFID tags. The system has been used in metallurgical production. The result shows that this system can guarantee the smooth progress of inspection work to improve the level of operation management and the safety of equipment operation.
