Intelligent Tool Control (ITC)

What is it?

ITC is a patented electronic, computerised method of tracking and controlling the use of hand tools.

ITC can offer "real time" information to a supervisor on various data such as who accessed a tool box, at what time, what they took or replaced and when the tool box was closed.

It is the benchmark system for the Industry and is a must for companies who cannot afford the risk of human error when managing the use of hand tools.

How does it work?

The tool cabinet is accessed via swipe card, pin number or other available options.  ITC can monitor and report who opened the box at what time. The cabinet automatically locks after a pre-set time.

Each hand tool has a precision cut "Smart Cavity" in to which it fits. The Smart Cavity detects the presence or absence of the tool.  This can then be linked to who accessed the cabinet.

What are the features and benefits?

Pin or Swipe Card Access
Records time of entry and records personnel accessing cabinet

Record hand tools removed
By description - by part number - by time taken

Record hand tools replaced
By description - by part number - by time replaced  

Pin or Swipe Card Exit
Records time of exit

Cycle count of tool usage
ITC will report on the total number of times each tool is used

Total time tool absent
ITC will report on the total amount of time that a tool is absent from the tool cabinet. Useful information for tools requiring regular calibration

Tool away for calibration
ITC will report on tools removed from the tool cabinet for calibration

Tool damaged
ITC will report on tools removed from the tool cabinet that are damaged, awaiting replacement or to be repaired

Tool lost
ITC will report on tools that are lost

Tool allocation for specific job. PIN code sensitive
ITC can issue tools on a process specific basis. If an operative has a specific task to do, the tools required to carry out that job can be pre-specified onto the system. Using his PIN code to access the tool cabinet, we can ensure that only the tools required for that job are removed. Anything other than the tools issued to that job that are taken will be notified to the supervisor immediately, in real time

Remote reporting
The tool cabinet can be hard wired into a network or alternatively operated remotely using advanced data communications systems

Keypad Entry

Our unique ITC system is available in our bespoke cabinet with various entry options.

Using the KEYPAD and PIN option does away with the problem of lost keys and means that PIN can be changed on a frequent basis, important when considering staff turnover and changes in sub contractors.
