XL RFID Automated Tool Control Smart Cabinet

Nexess XL RFID Automated Tool Control Smart Cabinet

The Nexess XL RFID Smart Cabinet brings industrial tool tracking into a new era. Designed to ensure the detection, traceability, and security of all types of industrial equipment, this IoT-enabled, second-generation UHF RFID cabinet offers an uncompromising approach to tool management. From precision hand tools requiring regular calibration to the smallest socket, every item is meticulously tracked via automated real-time inventory, delivering up to 100% traceability for up to 400 RFID-tagged tools.

Solving Critical Industry Challenges: FOD & FME Compliance

In high-stakes sectors like Aeronautics and heavy manufacturing, tool management is not just about efficiency—it is a matter of critical safety. Every year, tools left behind during assembly or maintenance account for up to 30% of civil aviation incidents. The Nexess XL Cabinet is engineered to directly combat the risks of Foreign Object Damage (FOD) and ensure Foreign Material Exclusion (FME). By eliminating poorly organized tool tracking, this smart cabinet prevents severe safety breaches while drastically reducing the costly downtime associated with searching for lost equipment.

Intelligent Access & Automated Inventory

Security and speed are at the core of the XL Cabinet's design. The advanced locking system secures your assets, restricting access only to authorized personnel equipped with an RFID badge or PIN code. Once a user completes their transaction and the cabinet doors lock, the system conducts a complete, highly accurate automated inventory within just seconds. Every movement is logged and time-stamped—recording exactly Who, What, When, and Where—providing unparalleled accountability.

Proactive Maintenance & Remote Supervision

Never miss a critical tool calibration date again. The XL Cabinet automatically sends alerts to the user interface and remote supervision stations if an abnormal event occurs or if a tool is due for maintenance. Powered by NEXCAP® Embedded software and monitored remotely via the NEXCAP® Web Client, facility managers can generate precise activity reports detailing tool borrowing frequency, returns, and maintenance schedules, ensuring total regulatory compliance and operational readiness.

Customizable Options to Fit Your Workflow

To ensure the cabinet meets your exact facility requirements, the Nexess XL can be configured with the following premium options:

• Smart Foam Integration: Essential for detecting small metal tools that cannot be RFID-tagged (accommodates up to 80 tools per smart foam).
• 1D/2D Barcode Reader: For enhanced scanning versatility and quick logging.
• RFID Database Association Reader: Easily link new RFID-tagged materials directly into your central database.
• Custom Interior Fittings: Add additional fixed, inclined, or sliding shelves, specialized foam storage layouts, and customized hooks for bespoke tool organization.
