Access without delays.
Employees identify themselves by camera, access card or fob. Existing cards and fobs can be used after compatibility checks. Assigned permissions help protect against unauthorised issues.
Simple for people. Accurate records.
How does an automated tool store work?
Three parts of one solution: employee identification, contactless tool reading and shared issue records.
An issue in a few steps
Take it.
Walk through.
Recorded.
The employee selects a tool. The doorway records it in their name as they leave.
Full product animationTake it. Walk through. Recorded.
The RFID antenna reads the tool and creates an issue record.
Small tag. Clear identity.
Attach the tag.
Give each tool its own ID.
An industrial self-adhesive RFID tag with 3M adhesive and an on-metal design. Suitable for metal tools too.

Clean the surface, remove the liner and press the tag into position. Read its unique ID and pair it with the individual tool in the software. This association tells the system which item the antenna has read at the doorway.
Tag design, size and type can be adapted to the tool, surface and operating conditions.
Choose directly from the rack.
Each drill, grinder or gauge has an assigned RFID tag. Employees take the equipment they need for their work.
A passage becomes a record.
The antenna reads the tool IDs and the system associates them with the employee and direction of movement. The issue appears in the overview.
Returning closes the issue.
The system recognises returned tools and updates their status. The history remains traceable.
Everything for smarter access.
In one system.
Simple installation on your existing doorway. An overhead antenna and your existing racks.
Wall-mounted tablet
A camera or card reader identifies the employee. Their existing card or fob can also be used.
Square overhead antenna
Tools are read as employees walk through. We adapt the system to the doorway width and construction.

What supervisors see
Turn “where is it?”
into a clear answer.
Find the employee, issue time and return for each tool. Every handover has clear accountability. Better control helps reduce losses and unauthorised use.
- Current issues
- History of each individual item
- Employee and store assignment
- Records for investigating discrepancies
A change your team will notice.
| Situation | Manual issue | With ToolPass |
|---|---|---|
| Issue | Paper, spreadsheets or a storekeeper’s log | Walk through and create a named issue |
| Finding tools | Asking colleagues, calling and searching | View the most recent issue |
| Return | Another entry and record check | Return recognition and status update |
| Tool security | Difficult movement tracing and unclear handovers | Permission checks and traceable named issues |
| Accountability | Incomplete or inconsistent history | Traceable assignment to an employee |
