The document describes a task monitoring system that uses RFID technology to track cleaning tasks. Key components include ID buttons worn by employees, readers that log check-ins and check-outs, and storage units that save timestamps of interactions. The system provides reports on cleaning frequency, duration, inventory use, and costs. It can also track use of individual inventory items by tagging them with ID buttons.
