Management Techniques for Tools, Measuring Instruments, Cables, etc. Using IC Tags

Work sites present a variety of situations. In sites requiring high safety standards, such as power transmission towers, substations, and railway facilities, misplacing tools poses a significant risk, not merely a matter of loss, but can lead to equipment malfunctions and accidents. In electrical work, which often involves working at heights and in confined spaces, reliable tool management is crucial for site safety.

Traditionally, the lending and return management of tools and measuring instruments relied on handwritten ledgers and visual checks, requiring considerable time for recording and verifying tools and measuring instruments at the end of each job. Furthermore, the search and inventory of unreturned tools and measuring instruments consumed the time of skilled workers, diverting their time from their primary duties and jeopardizing their core responsibilities.

Challenges in Managing Tools, Measuring Instruments, Cables, etc. at Work Sites

We offer proposals to address these challenges.

"Tool ONE" is a system that manages the removal and return of tools, measuring instruments, cables, and equipment using IoT devices and RFID equipment. It serves as a DX solution that field workers and managers need to streamline on-site removal/return management, inventory management, and calibration management.

It solves the challenges of managing tools and measuring instruments in maintenance and safety management in manufacturing and infrastructure maintenance industries. "Tool ONE" is specifically designed for removal and return management in manufacturing and infrastructure maintenance industries.

From a management perspective, it enables the management of tools, measuring instruments, cables, and equipment.

1. The process of filling out management forms or entering data into Excel is cumbersome.

2. It is difficult to create tool disposal plans and budget plans for each site.

3. Management is fragmented with paper and Excel spreadsheets, making calibration and operation management difficult.

We are conducting demonstrations using actual equipment, and also exhibiting various related devices such as IoT devices and RFID devices.
