RFID Passive High Frequency (HF) Solution
Itelmatic Ultimate provides complete automated tool control with specific tool-to-person accountability and tool management in real-time.
• Provides control for each tool at pocket level, assuring that the mechanics will return the tools to its correct drawer and pocket
• An interactive solution that will indicate any issues in real time, to the mechanic, including whether or not she/he is returning their own tool, if the tool is restricted, if it needs service/calibration, etc.
• The interaction will take place as soon as the mechanic takes or returns the tool from the pocket, making the whole solution more friendly and efficient
• Provides tool and toolbox inventory and usage records that can be accessed locally or remotely for comprehensive management (e.g. lean initiatives)
A Unique Tool ID
IDs for each tool in the Itelmatic are programmed into the RFID chip, which are then linked in the database to the worldwide item identification number. The Itelmatic system also identifies every specific tool with a unique ID and thus automatically distinguishes between similar or identical (in appearance) tools.
