NEXCAP® offering:

Smart Tool and Asset Management Station for tool crib

Drawing on feedback from our customers, we have worked on the RFID Counter (v2) since 2015, in order to offer a new version fully in line with the needs of storekeepers in the industrial field:

  • More flexible: a mobile RFID (radio-frequency identification) reader with adjustable power to facilitate table-top reading (or placed on the ground for bulky tools)
  • Less bulky: required space reduced by over 70%
  • More economical: cost reduced by over 50%

The second-generation RFID smart counter is ideal for managing equipment in storage facilities, as well as for monitoring maintenance and calibration. Based on UHF RFID technology, the RFID counter ensures an accurate and fast inventory of your equipment.
This connected solution ensures security and traceability. Each operation is tracked semi-automatically in real time thanks to the functionalities of the on-board application: consultation, inventory, movement, regulatory controls, physical search. This inventory is connected to the IS (Information System), and can therefore be viewed remotely.

Challenges

Managing equipment in storage facilities (tools, measuring devices, consumables, etc.) is a major challenge in the industrial field, from inventory to issuance monitoring. Poorly organized management of this equipment can lead to significant productivity loss, as well as having impacts in terms of safety: borrowing/return times, issuing of equipment outside validity periods, monitoring of stock and calibration dates, etc.

Calculations
  • Inventory reduction (one-off) = Tools × Unit cost × 30%
  • Inventory savings (per year) = (Inventory min/day/person × 95%) ÷ 480 × Cost/day/operator × Operators × Days/year
  • Transaction savings (per year) = (Tx/day/operator × Avg time/tx × Operators × 95%) ÷ 480 × Cost/day/operator × Days/year
  • Audit savings (per year) = (Tools × Audit min/tool/year × 95%) ÷ 480 × Cost/day/operator × Days/year
  • Avoided purchases (per year) = Annual tool purchases × 95%
  • Total annual savings = Inventory + Transactions + Audit + Purchases avoided
  • First-year savings = Total annual savings + Inventory reduction
  • Cumulative 5y = (Total annual savings × 5) + Inventory reduction
Fixed savings: -30% inventory value (one-off), -95% inventory time, -95% transactions, -95% audit prep, -95% purchases.
