SOLUTIONS

Tool Management

Locate, coordinate and control the use of tools in real-time across both indoor and outdoor facilities.

Locate

  • Instantly find tools with customizable searches and an easy-to-use, browser-based map to reduce wasted search time.
  • Improve process efficiency by correctly staging tools and equipment for your processes.

Manage

  • Create alerts for tools based on status or location, such as tools overdue maintenance, stored incorrectly or roaming outside of designated zones.
  • Use dashboards to measure tool utilization over time and within spaces, and ensure adherence to maintenance or calibration schedules.

Locating Tools

Complex, manual processes depend on the availability of the right tools and equipment, in the right place at the right time. Often tools are staged incorrectly or not returned to storage areas, putting them at risk of being lost or damaged.

Ubisense Tool Management reduces wasted search time and helps coordinate the correct staging of equipment.

  • Quickly find tools on a digital map of your facility
  • Create searches based on tool location and status
  • Easily see the real-time location and status of all tools using RTLS software.

Track Tool Status & Usage

Track Tool Status and Usage

The use of high-value shared equipment can be uncoordinated, causing increased costs and errors from inefficient or incorrect use of equipment.

Ubisense Tool Management can ensure important maintenance and calibration schedules are met and tools are staged and used correctly, improving quality and utilization.

  • Easily create alerts for tools or equipment due (or overdue) maintenance or calibration but still in use
  • Use dashboards of actual tool use overtime and within defined spaces to identify better ways to stage, manage and coordinate equipment
  • Trigger maintenance based on actual tool usage to reduce costs and improve quality

Automate Tool Audits

Ubisense Tool Management can automate and error proof the check-in, check-out procedures for tools and ensure operations are protected against Foreign Object Damage (FOD).

Easily and quickly complete end-of-shift tool audits by taking a real-time inventory of the location of equipment on the shop floor or in storage
