In situations where there may be FOD risks (foreign object damage) or FME (foreign material exclusion) considerations, for example the aviation and energy industries, using RFID to identify tools and track their use in the maintenance cycle (MRO) can reduce the accidents caused by human factors. Of course, RFID can also substantially improve both the accuracy and effectiveness of tool tracking, and reduce tool replacement costs, lost productivity and errors.

Since there is no “one-size-fits-all” RFID tag for the different size and shape of tools out there, selecting the tag best suited for the specific tool will maximize the read range performance and attachment methods. With the recent launch of the OPP IOT  UHF RFID tag, customers now have another choice of tag for tool tracking, especially those tools that need a durable, slim and low profile tag. The OPP IOT UHF RFID tag is designed to be integrated into the recesses of metal tools without compromising
