Imagine you own a field service company that performs maintenance on equipment at remote Oil drilling sites.
Your teams drive hours with large maintenance vehicles that contain all the tools you need to do the job.
Now the “real world” steps in…
Tools get moved or lost over time. When a team of multiple guys in a truck drives hours to a remote site just to find out that they are missing the 10mm socket … BAM that 10mm socket which originally costed less than a dollar … now can potentially cost you THOUSANDS of dollars!
How? Why?
That team drove all of those hours to this remote site just to NOT be able to perform the required service. The only fixes might be another team driving out with the proper tools or the original team returning to get the necessary tools then driving back to the site.
Also, their customer may also be suffering because the needed maintenance did not get performed which may increase a site’s down time. This doesn’t help customer satisfaction at all!
None of this equates to a good scenario.
Now, you could alleviate this scenario by perhaps doing an inventory of your tools before leaving.
BUT this might take a lot of time and not be very accurate if done by hand so what’s a company to do?
How about being able to quickly wave a mobile device and identify missing or wrongly located items in a few minutes before leaving?
That’s just what The Data Collection Center has helped customers do!
We developed a system where you can quickly identify tools that should be in a truck but are missing or tools that are in a truck that should be in another truck!
Through the utilization of RFID technology, we have developed a unique system of fixing these problems … Excuse me … PREVENTNG these problems!
In fact, our process is so unique that we applied and have been awarded a patent for it!
Patent# 11,132,641 RFID Inventory System and Method.
Reach out us and let’s see how we might be able to help you save time/money and keep your customers happy!
Thank you
