Key MRO Challenges Resolved

FOD prevention

FOD causes billions of dollars of delays and damage annually. nepros ID automatically identifies unreturned tools, ensuring immediate action is taken. Omni-directional readability means that even the smallest socket can be located and retrieved with minimal delay.
Enhanced efficiency for engineers

Automated check in/check out and task-based tool lists ensure technicians always take and return the correct gear, saving time and letting professionals focus on what they do best.
Support for on-site improvements

A comprehensive overview of where and when tools are being used empowers site managers to identify areas for efficiency enhancements to support engineers.
Optimized resource management

Accurate real-time tracking of individual tool use enables optimal allocation and robust lifespan management to prevent unnecessary doubling-up on equipment.
Individual tool tracking for robust
tool management

RFID technology enables real-time tracking of individual tools beyond the capabilities of analog and optical tracking systems. Precise traceability and inventory management ensure every tool is accounted for without creating extra work.
Driving digitalization in MRO

With RFID integrated into the tool design, nepros ID tools overcome the performance and cost issues of retrofitted tags. Removing barriers to digitalization delivers efficient, accurate tool tracking without compromising on tool quality or safety.

Revolutionizing Trackable Tool Design

Conventional tracking solutions include retrofitting RFID tags to existing tools with heat-shrink tubes. Such approaches compromise tool functionality and RFID readability in addition to increasing costs. nepros ID’s next-generation solution integrates RFID into tool design from the outset, achieving reliable scanning from any angle while ensuring peak tool performance.
