RFID technology makes tool management organized

Tools play a very important role and are indispensable Assets and helpers for operators in any industry. The management and maintenance of tools have become a major focus of management and control. How to effectively prevent and reduce the loss of tools, receive, return, find and maintain tools and other aspects of management and control? The emergence of RFID tool management applications has achieved high efficiency and intelligence in tool management. By installing specially customized tool cabinets with RFID Readers and installing ultra-high frequency passive anti-metal tags, the accuracy and efficiency of tool management can be greatly improved. , and achieve information sharing across organizations and departments. RFID technology makes tool management organized.

RFID tool management has different requirements and implementation methods in different industry fields. Commonly used scenarios are introduced:

Railway line maintenance tool management. There are many types of railway line maintenance tools, with widely different specifications and scattered use occasions. It has always been a difficulty in management. After installing RFID electronic tags on each tool, RFID ultra-high frequency reading and writing can be installed at the door of the warehouse. The device can be used to identify incoming and outgoing tools and perform authorization management. UHF readers can also be installed on construction vehicles to monitor the tools on the vehicles in real time, so as to bring back as many as they take out, and provide real-time reminders when tools are left behind.

Aircraft maintenance tool management. There are many types of aircraft maintenance tools and parts and their prices are high. It has always been the hope of airlines to achieve more intelligent management. RFID electronic tags are installed on the parts and tools and placed with RFID readers. In the box, the reader and writer in the box are powered by batteries, and the data is wirelessly connected to the cloud in real time. The staff can apply for the tool box through the APP. After the maintenance work is completed, they can check on the APP whether the tools that should be put back have been put back. Back, all tools and toolboxes can be queried in the background management software to find out their actual location, the person who was brought out, and the status of the tools inside.

Management of production tools for large-scale equipment such as high-speed railways. When producing high-speed railways, ships, and large-scale equipment, a worker has to bring many tools to various construction sections, which brings great difficulties to the management of tools. RFID readers are installed in the application. After the tool management vehicle is connected to a computer, tool management becomes simple. An ultra-high frequency reader/writer is installed in the tool vehicle to monitor the tools on the vehicle in real time. The display screen on the vehicle can display the type and quantity of the tools in real time. The staff only needs to Just swipe the card to open the tool cart drawer to pick up and place tools, preventing tools from falling and saving staff time in tool management.

Tool management in prison labor places. Prison labor places are special occasions. Hazardous materials such as tools must be strictly managed. Losing one piece will bring great safety risks. This is why it needs to be installed at key nodes and labor places. RFID reader can monitor the location and usage of tools in real time.

Installing RFID electronic tags on tools can manage the entry and exit of tools. The use of RFID technology can save you management time and improve work efficiency. It can display the basic information of the tool on the staff's computer equipment to facilitate statistics and inquiries.

Related operation procedures for the tool:

Tool purchase and storage: Before the tools are put into storage, electronic tags are installed on the tools, and basic information such as the tool's product name, type, standard, origin, brand name, packaging, etc. are entered, and the tool categories are divided. After the entry and classification are completed, Place the tools in the corresponding locations in the warehouse and record the locations.

Tool lending: The electronic tag on the tool can be scanned through the RFID handheld terminal, and relevant information such as the lending time, the borrowed part and person, and the purpose of the borrowing are Stored in the data collector and uploaded to the system through batch processing or wireless methods.

Tool return: You can use an RFID handheld terminal to read the information in the electronic tag, and compare it with the information at the time of loan. After confirming that it is correct, place the tool in the corresponding location in the warehouse, that is, the return procedure is completed.

Calibration of measuring tools: According to relevant national regulations, measuring tools must be calibrated regularly at designated professional testing departments. After verification, the verification information is written into the system.

Tool scrapping: When a tool reaches a certain level and is damaged and cannot be used continuously, it must be scrapped. After the RFID handheld terminal reads the electronic tag information of the equipment, and enters relevant information such as the reason for invalidation, the person in charge, and the consent person into the system, the equipment becomes invalid. The obsolete device information will be retained in the obsolete tool File information for query.

Tool inventory: Enter the inventory state, use the handheld device to collect the tool labels on the tool rack in sequence, enter them, and upload them to the backend. Through the RFID electronic tags installed on the tools, the quantity of each tool can be collected, and the backend system Then complete the inventory of warehouse tools and generate reports based on the collected quantity data.

Backend system management: Through the RFID tags installed on the tools, information such as storage, lending, return, inventory, and transfer of each tool can be collected, entered, and uploaded to the backend. The background system then completes the management of the tool warehouse based on the collected data information. Managers can conduct inquiries and statistics as needed and generate reports.

The addition of RFID technology makes tool management more orderly, binding RFID electronic tags to tools one-to-one information, quickly and automatically collecting statistics, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of tool management. The RFID handheld machine is one of the important tools for inventory management in warehouse management. It can quickly carry out data collection and inventory operations, read the data information, and transmit it to the backend central database through the wireless network to realize the relevant exchange of data information.
