Tool & Consumable Cribs

Monitor the presence and usage of tools, consumables and small assets at defined storage points.

Capabilities & Features

Core capabilities available out of the box

P

Pinpoint Read Zone

Short-range near-field design localises reads to a small, defined zone, avoiding reads of nearby unwanted tags.

  • Tight read zone
  • No stray reads
  • Controlled item reads
S

Simple, Compact Install

Small footprint and simple mounting suit cabinets, counters, and point-of-use dispensers.

  • Compact mounting
  • Quick setup
  • Workspace friendly
C

Consistent Accuracy

Reliable, repeatable reads make near-field antennas ideal for controlled issuing and audit events.

  • Repeatable reads
  • Audit-grade accuracy
  • Low variability
