Portable Toolkit Management
PortaTrak kit Scale
portaTRAK is a unique toolkit tracking system designed for the fast issue and return of portable toolkits containing multiple items, using accurate weight measurement – down to detecting a missing 1/4 inch drive screwdriver bit.
Multiple portaTRAK units can be used seamlessly and they can also be used alongside kabTRAK, lokkaTRAK and cribTRAK. This allows us to tailor a tool tracking solution to your specific requirements.
THE SOLUTION FOR YOUR TRACKING NEEDS
Features of the portaTRAK
NO LIMITS: The portaTRAK can manage almost any portable set of tools, from large drawer travel cases to small boxes containing just a number of tools, for example cutting tools or scrapers, and requires no tool modification to work.
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 the kit can be quickly marked “unserviceable” which will then restrict further use of this kit. A notification can be sent to the supervisor.
NO CAMERA: The portaTRAK system specifically has no camera fitted to meet requirements of restricted/classified areas.

Step by Step
Easy Multi-User Toolkit Tracking
Access control
To use the portaTRAK, the user swipes their access badge and may enter a tail number or work order.
issue and return
The user places the portable toolkit on the scales and it will be recognized by the portaTRAK using an RFID tagging system.
inventory check
The weight of the kit is checked against the recorded weight level. If the weight matches the stored level the kit will be issued or returned.
tool status display
The portaTRAK 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.

Safe Toolkit Storage
portaTRAK+ Toolkit Storage
The portaTRAK+ extends the capability of the portaTRAK. It incorporates a locker system providing unmanned and secure storage of portable kits, limiting access to the kits stored inside.
After the user signs in with a tap of their card, they select “Issue Kit” on the touch screen and the tail number of the aircraft they will be working on. The portaTRAK+ will then open a locker, giving access to a toolkit that can be issued after checking its identity and weight using the portaTRAK scale.
When returning the kit, the correct weight will be checked on the portaTRAK unit before a locker is opened. The system recognises if and when the toolkit has been returned into the locker and confirms the transaction once the door is safely shut.
Various heights, sizes and number of pigeon holes are possible, depending on your specific requirements.
