In this project, it was proposed to carry out research that involves the development of a central- ized Equipment Scheduling System Using AI-Based Authentication for researchers and research institutions in Uganda, based on the microservices system architecture. The system develop- ment involved the usage of the agile method of software development to achieve continuous delivery and integration. Simultaneously, a face recognition model was trained using a com- bination of data collection, localization, transfer learning and classication of processed data. The model was then integrated into the system as a service. The system allows users to login with a face recognition option, and browse through the cat- alogue of available resources, enabling them to request access to use special equipment or a resource that is owned by other institutions after which the system schedules the request.
