Snap-on ’ s Level 5 tool management system guards against FOD

For engineers and technicians working in many industrial sectors FOD will always be a real and present danger .
Keeping track of every tool and piece of equipment , especially when several storage cabinets are in simultaneous use , can be challenging .
Snap-on Industrial ’ s Level 5™ automated total asset management system minimises the risk of FOD by constantly tracking every tool , detecting which tools have been removed or returned .
It also enables engineers and technicians to quickly find every tool they need , when they need it , saving time and easing stress .
Engineered to track individual tools by user , without bar codes , scanners , RFID tags or other add-ons , the system works at the speed its users demand .
Level 5™ boxes are network ready , using either Ethernet or wireless connection .
Powerful software enables users to review activity at all boxes in their location from one central computer , avoiding the need to inspect each box .
Major benefits of the system include :
• No individual tool scanning required ;
• No RFID tags to install or replace ;
• Intuitive interface , via touch screen ;
• Audible voice confirmation of tool removal and replacement ;
• Automatic locking for maximum security ;
• Errors announced and displayed to indicate incorrect tool position or
advise when a drawer is not closed ;
• Keyless access control for easy access by authorised users .
Says Richard Packham , Director UK & Europe for Snap-on Industrial : “ Snap-on ’ s automated system takes tool management to an entirely new level , giving workshop managers and other authorised users easy access to the tools they need , while protecting against foreign object damage .
“ The ability to monitor several boxes from one central computer offers managers a huge time saving advantage .”
