Application of RFID tags in tool management

7 Jan 2019
With the popularity of the IOT industrial Internet of Things, more and more enterprises and institutions, defense and military enterprises, etc., began to use RFID technology to manage assets, including tool management, such as the national grid, railways and fire brigades, and there are many kinds of tools with a huge number. At present, enterprises and institutions are using traditional manual management methods to achieve data collection and entry for the inventory of assets, borrowing, returning and scraping. Relying only on manual work will lead to low efficiency, high error rate, difficult enterprise management, low work efficiency, difficult to effectively control the loss of fixed assets, and difficult to timely and accurate accounting of operating costs. In recent years, more and more enterprises and institutions have begun to use RFID tags for tool management, which has greatly improved the efficiency and intelligence of tool management. The accuracy and efficiency of tool management can be greatly improved by installing the specially customized tool workbench of RFID reader and UHF passive anti-metal tag, and the information sharing between organizations and departments can be realized.

However, there are many RFID tags on the market. How to choose a suitable RFID tag for tool management?

7 Jan 2019
● First, the tag must be a RFID anti-metal tag. For most tools are metal tools, so RFID tool tags should be installed on metal, which means the RFID tag must be resistant to metal.
● Second, the tag should be small enough. Most of the tools are very small, such as scissors, screwdrivers and spanners, the installation surface of which are limited. If the RFID tool tag is too large, it is not only inconvenient to install, but also inconvenient to the operator in the process of use.
● Third, our RFID tool management tag must have a strong performance. Although small in size, it has a far enough reading distance. When checking by handheld reader or entering and exiting by RFID channel door, there will no miss reading due to insufficient reading distance or poor consistency.

There are many kinds of RFID tags. How to choose the appropriate RFID tools manage tag?

7 Jan 2019
1. First of all, we must consider the problems of anti-fall and operation during the use of the tools, violent use of tools is a common phenomenon. If the RFID on metal tag does not have good anti-impact performance, it is likely to be damaged in the process of use. Therefore, PCB tag is most suitable choice, which is anti-impact and durable in use, and it has strong anti-metal performance.
 2. There are a variety of tools, most of them are small size tools. The size of the tag has certain requirements, and it cannot be too large, otherwise it will be inconvenient to install and inconvenient to the operator in the process of use. Therefore, when choosing a tag, the size should be small enough, the size of P-S is 4x18x1.8mm, and the size of P-M1809 is 18x9x2,5mm. The small size is convenient for installing various tools.
3. Strong performance is important, reading distance can not be too close. The reading distance for P-S is up to 2 meters on the metal surface, and for P-M1809 is up to 3 meter.

RFID tool tag and RFID smart toolbox,are the perfect match for the solution of tool management. RFID smart toolbox can realize functions such as one-keyboard check, intelligent sound and light alarm, etc. It realizes tool automation and intelligent management, which greatly shortens tool inventory time, and improves the accuracy and efficiency of tool management. With RTEC tool management tag P-S, its small size and excellent performance can achieve 100% accurate reading of the tool. They are widely used in: aerospace, railway, electric power, fire, prison and other fields.

Benefits of RFID technology in Tool Management

01

Enhanced Inventory Control

RFID technology revolutionizes tool inventory management by providing real-time visibility into the location and status of tools. With RFID tags affixed to each tool, organizations can quickly and accurately track tool usage, movement, and availability, minimizing the risk of misplaced or lost items. This real-time visibility enables efficient inventory control, reducing the time and effort required for manual inventory checks and ensuring that tools are readily available when needed.

02

Minimized Tool Loss And Theft

The implementation of RFID technology in tool management enhances security measures by mitigating the risk of tool loss or theft. RFID tags enable organizations to establish virtual perimeters and set up alerts for unauthorized tool movement, thereby deterring theft and facilitating quick response to security breaches. In the event of missing tools, RFID technology expedites the search and recovery process, minimizing the impact of tool loss on operations.

03

Improved Tool Tracking And Utilization

RFID technology enables organizations to monitor and optimize tool utilization, leading to reduced downtime and increased operational efficiency. By capturing data on tool usage patterns and maintenance history, RFID facilitates proactive maintenance scheduling and enables organizations to identify underutilized or surplus tools. This insight allows for informed decision-making to allocate tools more effectively, avoid overstocking, and extend the lifespan of tools through timely maintenance.

04

Comprehensive Maintenance Management

RFID technology facilitates the implementation of comprehensive tool maintenance management programs. By capturing and storing maintenance data on RFID tags, organizations can automate maintenance schedules, track service history, and receive alerts for scheduled maintenance tasks. This proactive approach to maintenance management ensures that tools remain in optimal working condition, minimizing equipment downtime and maximizing operational uptime.

05

Streamlined Check-In And Check-Out Processes

The use of RFID technology simplifies the check-in and check-out processes for tools, providing a seamless and efficient method for tracking tool movement. RFID readers installed at entry and exit points enable automated identification and recording of tools as they are taken out or returned, eliminating manual logging and reducing the likelihood of errors. This streamlined process enhances accountability and reduces the risk of unauthorized tool use or loss.

06

Integration With Tool Management Systems

RFID technology seamlessly integrates with tool management systems and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, providing a unified platform for managing tool data. This integration enables organizations to access real-time information on tool inventory, usage, and maintenance from a centralized system. The ability to generate reports, analyze tool performance, and make data-driven decisions empowers organizations to optimize tool management processes and resource allocation.
