1. Current State of Tool Management
(1) Finding maintenance tools and misplaced tools is difficult and highly inefficient
(2) QR codes or barcodes cannot meet current tool control needs
(3) Tool status information cannot be monitored in real time, and tool management accountability is incomplete
(4) Traditional tool management cannot effectively control potential FOD threats;
2. RFID Smart Tool Management System
Using RFID technology, tools with RFID tags are placed in custom tool carts, tool cabinets, toolboxes, smart shelves or tool rooms fitted with RFID readers, enabling tool borrowing, returning, searching, locating and inventory counting. Different hardware configurations suit different working environments!
1. RFID Smart Tool Cart
The RFID smart tool cart uses RFID technology and consists of an in-house developed control system and multiple positioning antenna units, enabling precise tool location down to each drawer level and greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of tool management. It effectively prevents and reduces tool loss and theft, simplifies tool check-in/check-out registration, and avoids inventory shortages or management oversights. This smart device meets all kinds of aviation tool storage needs, enabling digital tool management for businesses and fine-grained FOD control for the aviation industry.
2. RFID Smart Tool Cabinet
The RFID smart tool cabinet uses the EPC C1 G2 (ISO18000-6C) protocol and applies IoT RFID sensing along with cutting-edge technologies such as edge computing, communication networks, cloud platforms and AI algorithms to manage safety tools across their entire life cycle, from purchasing, distribution, use and inspection to disposal, achieving refined, intelligent tool management for the aviation industry.
3. RFID Smart Shelf
The RFID smart shelf is a smart device that uses UHF RFID automatic identification technology and connects to a back-end database, enabling smart storage and retrieval, automatic inventory counting and real-time monitoring of items or pallets bound to RFID tags. Any number of shelves can be linked together, and a specially designed RFID antenna is installed above each shelf level. Working with an RFID reader, the tags on the shelves are read in real time, enabling 24-hour online inventory counting and instant lookup of all item receiving, shipping and stock status, for smart inventory management and higher efficiency.
