Tool Link

DeWalt  Tool Link is a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) asset tracking system that lets professional contractors tag and track detailed inventory of their tools and equipment stored in the pickup box or van. When the vehicle is running, a pair of RFID antennas, mounted in corrosion- and impact-resistant housings on the inside of the pickup box, scan the box for tagged items on a pre-programmed inventory list. This data is transmitted to a reader mounted inside the cab and displayed on the in-dash computer screen, alerting the driver if any inventoried tools are not loaded on the truck. Tool Link also offers industry-first features, such as a pre-loaded menu with several standard tool lists that are easily edited to reflect specific types of jobs. www.dewalt.com

Tool Link
