Small Tool Tagging and Tracking

Does your company have a valuable number of small tools? If the answer is yes then you will understand how difficult it is to keep track of them. By their nature small tools are highly vulnerable to being lost or stolen to it’s very important to have a good tracking system in place.

What you need is to be able to permanently mark each tool in such a way that it can quickly matched up with a database containing all the key data about that tool including:

• When it was purchased, how much and who from
• Who has responsibility for it
• Location it should be
• Maintenance history

By doing this you then quickly determine who is accountable for each item and ensure tools are being returned to their correct location.

So how can you get enough information in a small enough label to mark these small tools?

The solution is to use QR or Data Matrix codes, by adding these to a small ID label you can quickly and easily keep track of all your small tools.

What are Data Matrix codes?

Data Matrix code is a 2D type of code used mostly by industry for marking small parts due to its small size coupled with its high reliability.

These 2D codes can be read from any angle and even if the code image is damage by up to as much as 30% it can still be read.
