Tool Link is an essential component to what makes Ford Work Solutions work so effectively. Have you ever left a job site only to realize that you left a tool behind? Tool Link from De WALT uses radio frequency ID (RFID) technology to tell you what’s in your truck and what isn’t. You can even create tool inventories based on job requirements, so you’ll have the right tools when and where you need them.
Tool Link makes sure it all comes back with you.
Within a few seconds, Tool Link can inventory hundreds of items and you have it all at the touch of your fingertips, both before and after a job. So, how does this technology work? The Ford Work Solutions site says it best:
– Fasten standard second-generation RFID tags to tools, safety equipment, material inventories and other valuable assets, even recreational items. Then scan the tags.
– With the vehicle running, a pair of RFID antennas inside the pickup bed or van cargo box scans for tagged items and displays them on the In-Dash Computer screen.
– You’re alerted if any inventoried items have not been loaded on the truck.
If you use your work truck for recreation, too, you can use Tool Link to track the stuff you use for camping, hunting, or any other hobby you want. Make sure your next Ford truck is equipped with Ford Work Solutions.
