Abstract
Aiming at the issues of identity confusion and data traceability difficulties in UAV inspection management of power transmission equipment, this study proposes an integrated management framework based on physical ID technology. By integrating UHF RFID and high-contrast QR codes as dual-channel carriers, a collaborative system comprising the perception layer, network layer, and application layer is constructed to achieve strong consistency between equipment identity and inspection data. Practical scenario validation demonstrates that this solution significantly improves equipment identification accuracy and data traceability efficiency, shortens maintenance response time, provides a feasible path for the full lifecycle management of power assets, and has the potential for application in industries such as oil, gas, and railways.
