In many cases, the process of borrowing tools at the engineering laboratory usually occurs problems. This is due to the process of taking and returning the equipment which is still not monitored so that it often makes mistakes when returning goods. To solve this problem, appropriate technology will be built. One of them is the development of technology which aims to create a monitoring system 'Microcontroller and Wireless Communication Based Smart Laboratory Box System Implementation' which uses wireless sensors and RFID as support. Information in real-time will be displayed on a large LCD connected to the server which is the result of monitoring the locker status. In this study,using a wireless sensor network as a communication system between the smart box and the server, theLDR and RFID sensors to determine the status of the smart box. To ensure the desired data information by the type of tool, RFID Tags are used as a differentiator of each tool. After finish doing some analysis, it will be concluded the quality of this simple technology that was created. From the experimental results, it is found that the system between the node and the server runs according to planning with a varying delay. The LAN network system built excels in packet loss although both have a value of 0% without changing the locker status. The delay of the LAN network system is better than the WLAN network system, both the conditions for the locker status are not changed and the locker status is changed. © 2020 IEEE.
