The invention discloses an intelligent management system for substation equipment based on two-dimensional code recognition. The system comprises a recognition terminal and a management background which are connected together. The recognition terminal includes a scanner and a data pushing module connected with the scanner. The management background is arranged in a central control room of a substation and is connected with a host in the central control room. The management background comprises a data management module and a data display module. The data management module includes a controller and data processors respectively connected with the controller. The scanner includes a scanning device and a reader connected with the scanning device. The scanning device can recognize two-dimensional code tags. By adopting the system of the invention, the unified management for the information storage and the data calling operation of substation equipment can be accurately and quickly realized, and the updating operation can be conducted in real time. Meanwhile, the system has the advantages of simple structure, low cost and easy realization.
