🔧 Bringing Tech to Tool Management!
What if your tool trolley could tell you exactly which tools are in use, who's accessed them and what's missing?
At Machine Building Live, our MD Ryan Slaney demonstrated our smart tool trolley, developed in collaboration with BETA Tools and showed how it makes day-to-day tool management easier.
Here's how it works 👇
1️⃣ Secure Access – Users enter a PIN, swipe their card or scan their fingerprint to access their assigned drawer.
2️⃣ Automatic Tool Tracking – Take out a tool and our ToolDetect technology automatically identifies what's been removed. No scanning or manual logging needed.
3️⃣ Real-Time Visibility – Our web-based software displays a digital twin shadow board, so administrators can see exactly which tools are in the trolley and which are out.
4️⃣ Simple Returns – Put the tool back and the system updates automatically.
For businesses working towards 5S and Lean manufacturing principles, having this level of visibility makes a real difference.
Less time spent searching for tools, better accountability and a more organised workspace, without adding extra admin for your team.
By combining BETA Tools' professional tool storage with our smart tool management technology, we've created a stand-alone smart tool trolley that takes the guesswork out of tool tracking.
