Tamper-aware tags and zone policies keep calibrated instruments and safety tools in approved areas, alerting maintenance and quality teams the moment one moves without authorization.

Critical Tool Control collects location, movement, and asset-status signals across factories and production lines and sends the readings to a secure cloud application. Dashboards and configurable rules show current status, trends, and threshold exceptions, retaining history by site, zone, or asset. This gives operations, maintenance, and reliability teams the context to investigate the affected site or asset, helping them respond earlier using measured conditions and document the response.
Critical Tool Control is a equipment control solution by SmartXhub, serving Industrial & Manufacturing.
Critical tools are fitted with secure IoT tags linked to their digital identities and control rules. Readers and gateways installed in work areas detect tag signals and update tool position automatically. The platform applies predefined policies such as allowed zones and authorized storage areas. When a tool moves outside permitted boundaries or at unexpected times, alerts are generated. Dashboards show current location, movement history, and rule violations, and data can sync with asset and compliance systems.
