The invention relates to an intelligent material box which comprises a control circuit and a material box, wherein the control circuit comprises a touch screen, a singlechip microcomputer module, a power supply circuit, a decoding module, a 232-to-485 conversion module, an electromagnet driving circuit, a light driving circuit and a buzzer driving circuit, wherein the output end of the power supply circuit and the output end of the 232-to-485 conversion module are respectively connected with the input end of the singlechip microcomputer module; the output end of the singlechip microcomputer module is connected with the input end of the decoding module; the decoding module is provided with a plurality of output ends; each output end of the decoding module controls each material box; each material box comprises a box body, an electromagnet, an indicating lamp, a buzzer and a position switch; after the electromagnet driving circuit works, the electromagnet can be automatically propped out to open the material box; meanwhile, the buzzer of the material box makes a sound, the indicating lamp starts to shine, and the position switch is turned on. After a user takes a material, the material box is closed, the position switch is turned off, the buzzer stops working, and the indicating lamp is switched off.
