- Increasing number of vehicles on the road verysignificant every year, demanding of spare parts for vehicle is increasing together to the number of cars, thus spare parts to replacing faulty component also high demand. Every workshop need to keep spare parts for replacing breakdown vehicle or some workshop request spare parts to store it. Base on that, a good spare parts management and storage system is required for effective and faster service to thecustomer. This paper discuss on the use of Radio Freqeuncy Identification (RFID) for car engine storage and spare parts management system using RFID technology, because of its advantages compare to others technology which is no line of sight required and multiple reading. Every spare parts or engine tagging by an RFID tag which is programmed early with unique identity, then store to a central database for stock and inventory system. Testing have been conducted an shows reduce on reading performance because of most spare parts and engine made from metal material thus effected to RFID reading performance. A new technique used for RFID tag before tagging which is make some gap from the engine or spare parts to avoid RFID signal absorve by metal material. The other way is used high gain antenna and RFID reader for faster and powerfull reading. Results shows improvement on reading distance and performance compare to the previous tagging technique and tagging placement.
