Big Brother is watching your tools. That’s the idea behind a new asset-management system from Snap-on Industrial.
Born in the aerospace field, the company’s latest tool box is designed to help people in construction, especially those who work in high-risk areas that require tight security over “foreign-object damage” or “foreign-material exclusion”—such as nuclear powerplants—or those using large volumes of tools that are easily misplaced or stolen. The box relies on digital imaging technology.
