Losing or misplacing personal belongings is an old-age problem that persists to this day. This is aggravated by the widespread usage of pricey gadgets and their related mobility, which causes wasted time in locating misplaced objects. Issues with item-locating trackers, in addition to healthcare professionals tasked with retrieving their patients' misplaced belongings who have cognitive impairments, are the misuse of item-locating trackers to aid dangerous purposes such as stalking due to the Bluetooth tracking technology. To find a feasible solution to these problems in a convenient and cost-efficient manner, this study made use of the quantitative experimental research design to develop an item locating device utilizing arduino and radio frequency transmitter and receiver modules. The device made use of radio frequency transceiver chips as its main components because they are readily available on the market and can be found in a variety of electronic products. The RF technology makes use of radio frequency signals to determine the distance between the user and the misplaced item, offering a wireless and convenient tracking method. This device intends to help people find their lost items conveniently by providing a beeping sound that will alert them to the location of the lost item, whether it is underneath other materials or not. For the item locating device to be improved, it is recommended to upgrade the antenna of the device, which will provide the device with a better connection and enable the device to reach further distances. The product promises convenience and affordability.
