Tagged tools report presence, zone, and movement automatically, giving production and maintenance teams a searchable live view of what is available, in use, or missing.
Factory Tool Availability 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 location, movement history, and status, retaining history by site, zone, or asset. This gives operations, maintenance, and reliability teams the context to recover, dispatch, or rebalance assets, helping them reduce search time and improve asset use and document the response.
Factory Tool Availability is a asset tracking solution by SmartXhub, serving Industrial & Manufacturing.
Tools are equipped with wireless identification or location tags linked to their digital records. Readers and gateways across the facility capture tag signals and update tool status automatically. The platform processes these signals to determine presence, zone, and movement. Users access a dashboard where they can search by tool type, ID, or category and view current availability. Rules can flag tools that leave defined areas or remain unused. The system can also synchronize with maintenance and asset databases.
