Good afternoon! Straight to the point: the serial number of the USB flash drive cannot be extracted from the web page — the browser does not provide it for security reasons. The working scheme is a small local helper (service on the PC) that reads the hardware ID of the drive via WMI upon request from the page and returns it to the form. I have created such browser-local service connections before. I will assemble a form with a button + helper for Windows. Please clarify: are the clients on Windows, and can the helper be installed once on their machines?

I will do it turnkey — the task is clear. Ready to take it on — write to me, and I will draft a plan and deadlines.

Determining the hardware identifier of a USB drive through the browser is implemented via the WebUSB API (Chrome/Edge): we obtain vendorId, productId, and serial number (if the OS does not block it). For more reliable reading of the serial number, there is an option with a native helper (a small program in Python/C++ on the client side that communicates with the browser via Native Messaging). If installation is not allowed — WebUSB + maximum data available. Please clarify: what is the purpose of identification (access control, licensing, other?) and is the installation of a lightweight client component acceptable? This will determine the choice of solution.

Actually, it is possible to do it this way, but the main problem is that the browser's security prevents direct access to USB. Therefore, there are 3 solution options:
1 - WebUSB API. Modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera) have the WebUSB API technology. It allows a website (with the user's permission) to communicate with a USB device. But... again, you can only obtain the vendorId and productId.
Here is the response from my USB mouse:
Device successfully selected!
Name: USB Optical Mouse
Vendor ID (Hex): 0x46D
Product ID (Hex): 0xC077
Serial Number: Access restricted by OS
2. Using Electron / NW.js
If the "web client" is actually a packaged desktop application (for example, on Electron), then there is full access to Node.js. You can use the usb library or node-diskinfo / command line calls (like wmic in Windows).
3. Web client + Local agent (Native Messaging)
Well, this is actually what many people write - to create a small local client and the web page, when the button is pressed, makes a regular fetch('http://localhost:8080/get-usb-hwid').
Each method has its own pros and cons, so the task needs to be looked at more deeply than you describe.

Good day! We have experience in developing web applications with access to hardware resources through the browser. We are implementing a form with a button that, after connecting a USB drive, requests its hardware identifier and returns it in the response. We guarantee cross-browser compatibility and security.

The browser does not provide direct access to USB hardware, so a small local agent is needed. Here’s the scheme: a native application (Python + pyusb or Node.js + usb) runs on the user's machine and starts a local HTTP server on 127.0.0.1. The web form, when the button is pressed, makes a fetch request to this agent, which reads the VID/PID and serial number of the drive via libusb and returns JSON. The agent is packaged into an .exe (PyInstaller) for Windows, so the user does not need to install anything manually.
The key point: the browser will block requests to localhost without CORS headers and HTTPS context, so the agent must return the correct headers, or the page must be on HTTP. This needs to be considered at the start; otherwise, everything will break at the last step.
What OS does the solution need to support: only Windows, or also macOS/Linux?

This won't be so easy to do.
The web architecture should be as follows:
webpage
↓
Local application on Windows
↓
Windows WMI / PowerShell / .NET
↓
USB drives and their Hardware ID
The browser will not directly access the USB file system.
