The solution for your tracking needs
Features of the kabTRAK Cabinet
NO LIMITS: The kabTRAK can manage almost any possible tool variety, for example cutting tools or extremely small tools, and requires no tool modification to work.
NO DELAY TIME: Every tool movement is recorded instantaneously as a tool is lifted or returned, with no requirement for the drawer to be fully extended and no scanning time.
MOBILITY: The system can be used outside and has a battery backup.
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.
WEARING TOOLS: The kabTRAK can be kitted up with a debris catchment bin. Should the tool be not only unserviceable but shattered into pieces, a return of debris can be allowed for.
CONSUMABLE ITEMS: The kabTRAK 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 kabTRAK system specifically has no camera fitted to meet requirements of restricted/classified areas.

Step by Step
Easy Multi-User Tool Tracking
Access Control
To use the kabTRAK, the user presents their access badge and may enter a tail number or work order to unlock the cabinet. Tools are presented in professional inlays so they can be instantly located.
Issue and Return
When the drawer is open the screen will instantly display a live infographic with the status of each tool - tools available, tools issued to other users and tools issued to current user. This makes it easier to return tools to the correct position.
Central Locking mechanism
Once the drawer is closed the user can instantly lock the cabinet at the push of a button. If the cabinet is left unlocked it will automatically lock after a short lapse of time.
Tool status display
The locked cabinet has a green display when all tools are present or red when any tools are out. The status of all tooling against aircraft is updated on the cloud based portal, and reports can be generated.

Innovative Sensor Technology
Unlike other Electronic Tool Control Systems that use scanning systems or require tool modifications, kabTRAK is fitted with a highly sensitive sensor system developed by Henchman.
No size restrictions: Track tools and consumables in almost any shape
and size – down to a drill bit with a two millimetre diameter.
No light interference: The sensors are not affected by bright light, making it possible to use the cabinet in any spot – indoors or outdoors.
No opening and closing drawers: Even with an open drawer, each
movement of a tool is instantly tracked and reported.
No modifications: Labels, barcodes or laser etching on the item is not
required – saving you a lot of time and making replacement easy.
