Tagging and tracking equipment

[Floormedic]

We have trouble with equipment disappearing. What systems are you using to keep track of what goes out and returns to shop. I' tired of losing equipment.

@Desk Jockey should have a good system

I had one of my supervisors at Bolden's a couple of years ago and he really liked this system. I see they are showing in Hotlanta, I plan on checking them out.

Its easy to lose equipment, even easier the more you own. We try check off lists but even then you have the human element to deal with. We had a facilities manager call last month wondering when we were coming to pick up the last two airmovers.

The tech's that picked up the equipment said they looked everywhere and those that the numbers were put down by mistake. There were 80 pieces on the job and they just gave up looking for the other two. Someone had moved them to dry in another unrelated area and never told us until later.

I hate when our equipment grows legs too.... We've had around 10 or so AM's grow some legs in the past years...

Since hiring Jr, I can't even keep up with gum digger tools and sticky tabs. I'd shoot him if he lost an air mover

Based on your posting this I went ahead and purchased it! It arrived today. We are going to start playing with it Friday. The cost for the tags is where they get you..... Estimating we will spend about $2k-$3K buying tags before its all secure.

Awesome! Let us know what you think once you get some time with it.

If you are coming to Atlanta in April- you are welcome to check it out

 

[Desk Jockey]

Thanks, yeah I'll be there. Look forward to finally meeting you!

Too many times equipment is moved by someone on site or flat out stolen, so if we were still in the water loss biz I'd use the system. As a bonus Aminur is a good guy that is constantly improving the product.

I wonder if GPS could be built into the system/tags too....? Catch the thief red handed... Kind of like the Smart Tag for luggage?

they have those but still betaish Work of other users having the application and it pinging off their phones. years before something like that makes sense also, - $25 per tag. too costly.

If you own a lot of equipment that is quite the initial investment but that's one day of rental. 9 days of rental and they're paid off.
