Poor tool management can create inefficiencies and challenges for any operation relying on having the right tools and equipment when needed. 

Several tool manufacturers have started to tag tools with RAIN RFID tags for better inventory management, loss prevention, and accountability. Tools are very versatile groups of items they can be almost any size, contain metals and sometimes plastics, and are used in different ways. Tagging tools is a bigger effort than tagging retail items. 

In this webinar, our guest speakers from Xerafy and InThing address the various challenges, use cases, and benefits of tracking tools with RAIN RFID. We will also cover best practices for a tool tagging project and how to verify the RF performance of the tagged tools. 

Agenda: 

  • Challenges, benefits, and use cases of RAIN RFID in tools
  • How to get it done: 
    • Setting specifications 
    • Tag selection, placement, encoding, and verification
  • Lessons learned: Typical challenges, what to take into account
  • The future of tool tagging
  • Q&A
