RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a non-contact automatic identification technology, without human intervention. It is convenient to apply and it can identify fast moving objects. Around the tool and the tool information, the problem of low operational efficiency and low degree of tool management information are still unsolved. In this paper, RFID technology is applied in the tool automatic identification and management system. The tool automatic identification and database management system based on RFID is built. The application model, tool information database design and Upper Computer management software of the RFID in tool identification and management are analyzed. The overall architecture and the software function module of the system are constructed. The database management system is developed by the LabVIEW software. The interface design between LabVIEW and Access database is completed by using ActiveX, as a result, the information of Access database can be written-in and read-out by the management system. Meanwhile, the communication protocol between the Upper Computer and Lower Computer is programed that based on VISA. The RS232 is applied to make the communication between the Upper Computer and Lower Computer come true. Finally, take the SECO's Solid Carbide Ball-end Milling Cutter as an example to have an experiment. Through the experiment, the system proved to be with high reliability and efficiency.
