520			_aThe high frequency of misplaced personal property on university grounds consistently impacts student campus life and academic performance, yet most institutions still depend on outdated, unstructured manual procedures like logbooks. These traditional methods are inherently susceptible to human error and delays, resulting in low recovery rates for lost items and creating administrative challenges for campus security. To address this recognized deficiency, the study proposes developing a kiosk-based Smart Lost & Found: Item Recovery System specifically for the Technological University of the Philippines (TUP)–Manila. The proposed system integrates an ESP-32-WROOM microprocessor with a touchscreen interface and QR-code technology to enable real-time tagging, tracking, and secure retrieval of belongings. Each found item is assigned a unique QR code, which facilitates fast logging, database storage, and automated authentication checks during the claims process. The prototype would undergo thorough testing and evaluation by selected users to confirm its functionality, ease of use, and reliability. The anticipated outcome is that this organized, technology-driven system will improve the efficiency of campus lost and found operations, minimize human error, and strengthen accountability in item recovery. Furthermore, this innovation supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG) 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, by promoting the use of modern technologies to enhance institutional processes and contribute to a more secure and efficient campus environment.
