RFID Partnership: RFID-Enabled Tool Room For Automated Inventory Control

SAVR Communications partners with HOLT CAT to bring RFID technology to the tool room. HOLT CAT, one of the largest Caterpillar dealers in the world, will rely on an RFID-based tool room solution to improve inventory control, automate usage record keeping, and provide enhanced theft detection / deterrence.

With better security and simplified tool tracking, HOLT CAT expects to save $30,000 in lost tooling per location within the first year alone. The system features UHF technology and an array of unique Gen2 tag solutions to accommodate the harsh environment. Project challenges include tagging dirty metal tools in sizes that range from small drill bits to heavy impact wrenches. All will be RFID tagged for easy identification. Employee access is controlled with RFID badges. Data handling and user interface can be a stand-alone function or integrated into existing applications such as the ACCUTRACKER system – preferred by HOLT CAT.
