Radio Frequency Tracking Devices

RFID is a whole new way to look at business processes. RFID equipment provides a new level of automation that far exceeds that of barcodes or standard Point of Use Vending Machines. Passive Vending Machines are finally a reality.

Passive Vending – is a hardware and software solution that does not require the user to make a choice upfront as to which items they would like to issue. Passive means that once a unit is unlocked, the user can browse through the products available and remove one or more items at the same time. On closing the door/drawer of the unit the solution tracks what has been removed and logs it.

Manufacturing is overrun by peripheral expenses and procedures that not only muddle operations but also add unnecessary downtime. For example, manufacturing personnel that are not working with Radio Frequency Identification Technology, or RFID technology, may take a multi-step process involving personnel identification input and tool tracking input just to check a tool out. These steps involve a back-end software system that is limited in scope compared to the reporting capabilities offered with manufacturing RFID software from CribMaster, and they also add unnecessary personnel downtime

For example, RFID based solutions will not require your employees to learn any new steps or become acquainted with any complex new devices. The CribMaster based RFID solutions are as simple as an employee walking into an enclosed area, taking what they require to do their job and having everything passively tracked and simply monitored – without the employee having to do a thing.

This is why RFID solutions have such a quick ROI on projects that are issuing indirect materials or managing durable or serialised products.

The range of RFID tool tracking solutions is designed to be flexible to meet a customer’s requirement. Be it a walk in store (the AccuPort), a cabinet sized tool crib (the AccuCab) a drawer based unit (the AccuDrawer) or the ability to track items move across an area (the Last Point Read – LPR).
