Tool Tracking

Automate Tool Tracking, Maximize Productivity, and Prevent Loss with IoTiView

Next-Generation Asset Management for Smart Manufacturing

IoTiView’s Tools Tracking solution transforms how manufacturers, maintenance teams, and operators manage their most critical production assets. By automating tool location, usage, and lifecycle data, IoTiView enables you to optimize tool utilization, cut replacement costs, and ensure every tool is ready when you need it-supporting seamless, efficient, and compliant operations.

The Challenge

Why Effective Tools Tracking Matters

In fast-paced manufacturing and industrial environments, misplaced, underutilized, or unmaintained tools can cause costly delays, safety risks, and unplanned expenses. Traditional tracking methods-spreadsheets, manual logs, or visual checks-are inefficient and prone to error.

  • Lost or Misplaced Tools
  • Ineffective Utilization
  • Unplanned Downtime
  • Manual Record keeping
  • Compliance & Audit Risks
  • High Initial Investment
