Tool Crib Management

CribTrak Scanner

cribTRAK is a barcode or RFID tag scanning system to monitor manual tool movements. It’s the simplest way to track items often stored in a toolcrib, and large items that do not fit into portable toolkits or a kabTRAK.

To use the cribTRAK, the user swipes their access badge and enters an aircraft registration number. The user then scans the barcode on the item using the built in scanner to issue or return the item.

The cribTRAK has a green display when all tools are present or red when any tools are out. When tools are out, simply touching the display opens a list of tools issued and the user that took them.

 
 

THE SOLUTION FOR YOUR TRACKING NEEDS

Features of the cribTRAK Scanner

  • NO LIMITS: The cribTRAK can manage almost any item – from large toolkits and pieces of equipment to small consumables.

  • NO DELAY TIME: Every tool movement is recorded instantaneously as a tool is scanned.

  • CALIBRATION MANAGEMENT: Restricts use of any tool that has expired, giving an optional step to ensure the user checks the actual date on the tool when issuing, and an early warning to the supervisor of any imminent expiry.

  • BROKEN TOOLS: Should a tool be broken during use, on return it can be quickly marked “unserviceable” which will then restrict further use of this tool. A notification can be sent to the supervisor.

  • CONSUMABLE ITEMS: The cribTRAK can maintain a record of what has been consumed, whilst allowing return of any non-consumed items.

  • RESTOCKING and RE-ORDERING: The dashboard or direct messages to the supervisor provide updates of consumed and unserviceable tools, making restocking and re-ordering simple.

  • NO CAMERA: The cribTRAK system specifically has no camera fitted to meet requirements of restricted/classified areas.
