Lost Tools are a Thing of the Past Thanks to Ford
Ford’s at it again; the automaker never becomes comfortable as just a car maker. The magic pony maker has devised the perfect solution for those dedicated tradesmen and their lost tools.
Ford Pro Engineers in Germany designed tracking devices ready to install on any instrument, machine, or professional equipment. Additionally, the Ford device will utilize Bluetooth connectivity and GPS tracking. Similar to Siri’s ‘Find my iPhone’ feature because let’s be clear here, work tools get up and “walk away” from time to time; we just want to know where they go. Moreover, the devices will connect to company cars and a central server, so tools never go astray.
The Blue Oval automaker affirms that all employees can keep track of their work tools through their company’s computer, the touchscreen display of their work vehicle, and cellphone or tablet apps. In addition, a live map displays the location of all company equipment. When squandering for tools, the hard-working individual can locate the item based on the vehicle, tool type, storage, and tool name. Furthermore, the equipment may be listed by its operable status, such as working, damaged, or maintenance.
In addition, the American automaker suggested that an entire list of the tools prescribed for the work vehicle would provide rapidly sufficient load and unload of the vehicle’s inventory. The Blue Oval automaker guarantees full-proof transportation between sites for those industrious workers to operate smarter and not harder.
“Even the most attentive worker can leave behind a toolbox at the end of a long day or forget a hand tool when rushing to another job. On busy sites, tools can sometimes get mixed up or be stolen if left overnight. As work projects often have tight schedules, spending time to replace lost equipment can cause a cascade of problems, with every delay costing time and money.”
– Walter Pijls, Supervisor of CV Ecosystems, Research, and Advanced Engineering at Ford of Europe
The Blue Oval assesses that companies in Germany lose $447 worth of tools weekly. As a result, tracking services will reach enthusiasts once more research is conducted in other countries.
