How RFID tool management reduces tool loss

How poor Tool management leads to tool loss

Tools are indispensable elements in production activities, and their efficiency and lifespan directly affect production costs and quality.

However, due to poor management, the problem of tool loss has been plaguing many companies.

Improper management of tools will lead to rapid wear and tear of tools, mainly in the following aspects:

The lack of basic management measures such as classification, numbering, registration, and accounting of tools and tools results in unclear information such as the quantity, specifications, status, and usage of tools and tools, making it impossible to effectively control and supervise the circulation and maintenance of tools and tools.

The lack of maintenance and management measures such as regular inspection, repair and replacement of tools leads to reduced performance, malfunction or damage of tools, affecting production efficiency and safety.

The lack of management measures such as reasonable configuration, use and storage of tools leads to the waste, mismatch, abuse or loss of tools, resulting in waste and loss of resources.

The lack of incentive management measures such as the responsibility system, assessment system, reward and punishment system for tools, resulting in employees lacking a sense of responsibility and enthusiasm for the storage and use of tools, not paying attention to saving and caring for tools, and even deliberately damaging or occupying tools without permission. .

Poor management of tools leads to the loss of tools by affecting their quantity, quality, efficiency and safety.

In order to reduce the loss of tools and improve their utilization and lifespan, it is necessary to strengthen the management of tools, establish and improve the tool management system, standardize the tool management process, and improve employees' awareness and ability of tool management.

How to use RFID tool management to reduce tool loss

RFID tool management is a method that uses radio frequency identification technology (RFID) to track, locate and manage tools.

RFID tool management can reduce tool loss, improve tool usage efficiency, reduce management costs, and enhance safety performance.

The main steps of RFID tool management are as follows:

Attach an RFID tag to each tool. The basic information of the tool is Stored in the tag, such as number, name, specifications, model, usage department, etc.

Install RFID Readers in tool warehouses, work sites, maintenance points and other places. The readers can read the information in the tags through wireless signals and upload it to the backend database.

Through the background database, the location, status, usage, maintenance records, etc. of tools can be monitored in real time, and various reports and statistical analyzes can be generated to provide data support for tool management.

Through the RFID tool management system, functions such as automatic entry and exit of tools, automatic inventory, and automatic alarms can be realized, simplifying the tool management process and improving management efficiency.
