Can the RFID chip come off of the tool?
IDZ, in conjunction with a leading University and state-of-the-art research and development laboratories, has designed a process to affix RFID tags to tools. We have selected different adhesives for each type of material. This process must be followed in order to ensure that the RFID tag does not come off. In our experience, now for more than three years, when the process is followed, we have not had any case of a chip that comes off. Training and a manual for the usage of these adhesives and processes is performed during implementation stage.

What if I want to change some tools of my configuration?
Flexibility is one of the highlights of the Itelmatic. Changing configuration is as easy as it is in a normal foam tool-box. You can either do it by yourself making or modifying your tools configuration foam and aligning the RFID reader in the bottom layer. Or having a service agents that will ensure that your configuration is exactly how you want it. Optionally, state-of-the-art software will generate an optimum layout that managers can use in the configuration layout process.

Currently, the U.S. Air Force is the biggest user of the Itelmatic. Our users are at the operational level on the flight line, in the hangars, and in the backshops every day.

Do you have to send the tools to your facility? If so, for how long?
Sending your tools to our facility is not necessary. However, if you are looking for the Itematic Ultimate version and you wish us to manufacture your tools foam, then we need to scan you tools to ensure the best quality of the Tools foam with the exact shape of the tools. In this case, you can either send your tools to our facility for one week or use our Mobile Laboratory for scanning the tools at your facilities.
