Powerful Features

Built for Scale, Precision & Speed

Lost or misplaced tools stop production, fail FOD inspections, and drain budgets. Here are the capabilities you get with Identium.

🛠️

On-metal Tag Attachment

Rugged on-metal UHF labels / metal tags survive workshop conditions — heat, grease, impact.

📦

Smart Tool Crib

Self-locking cabinet with built-in UHF reader — authorised employees badge in, cabinet tracks every check-out.

🚪

Gate-level Control

Tools not allowed to leave certain zones trigger alarms at facility gates.

⏰

Overdue Alerts

Tool not returned in time? Auto-escalate to supervisor and last-known user.

🔧

Calibration Cycles

Tools requiring periodic calibration (torque wrenches, gauges) auto-flag when due.

✈️

FOD Compliance

Critical for aviation & aerospace — pre-shift tool count, post-shift reconciliation, lost-tool alarms.

👥

User Accountability

Every tool tied to a user while checked out — ownership-driven care.

📊

Utilisation Analytics

Identify over-stocked tool categories and chronically scarce ones.
