by Apolonia Reyven D. • 2025

SecuredTag: Computer Laboratory Device Management and Security with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)Tag was developed to address challenges in managing and securing computer peripherals at Batangas State University TNEU ARASOF-Nasugbu Campus, where traditional manual tracking was time- consuming, error-prone, and ineffective in preventing device misplacement, theft, and inefficient inventory management. Using Agile Methodology, the system continuously improved based on stakeholder feedback, enhancing security and management efficiency through Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for real-time device tracking, reducing loss and unauthorized usage. It provided a centralized platform for monitoring inventory, generating reports, and ensuring accountability among users. Surveys and interviews with ICT staff, faculty, and students identified key concerns regarding device security, manual tracking inefficiencies, and lack of real-time monitoring, all effectively addressed by the system, which users found easy to use, functional, secure, and reliable. By streamlining device management, improving security measures, and automating inventory processes, SecuredTag was proven to be an effective tool in optimizing computer laboratory operations, highlighting its potential to enhance security, efficiency, and accountability in academic institutions.

One major problem encountered by the Local Youth Development Office (LYDO) is the difficulty in monitoring and managing SK officials due to their reliance on manual document monitoring processes. These manual methods often lead to inefficiencies, delays, and challenges in tracking the performance of officials. To resolve these issues, the SKONEK: A Local Youth Council Project Management and Performance Monitoring System was developed as an automated solution to streamline project management, improve performance tracking, and enhance overall operational efficiency for local youth councils. In developing SKONEK, the Agile methodology was employed, ensuring a flexible, collaborative, and iterative approach that allowed for continuous refinement based on stakeholder feedback. This ensured the system met the specific needs of the LYDO and its users. The results of the study show a highly positive outcome. The system was evaluated as highly acceptable, with users expressing strong satisfaction with its functionality, usability, and overall effectiveness. These findings highlight the system's potential to significantly improve the LYDO's document management processes and enhance the management and monitoring of youth council projects.
