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.”
