Manufacturing Equipment Tracking
All four hardware types working together on the production floor. From CNC machines to hand tools, complete visibility drives OEE improvement.
Manufacturing environments present the most complex equipment tracking challenge, with thousands of assets ranging from multi-million-dollar CNC machines to individual drill bits, spread across production floors, tool cribs, maintenance shops, and storage areas. Sharee Tracking deploys all four hardware technologies in concert to deliver the comprehensive visibility that drives measurable OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) improvements.
Faster tool access and reduced unplanned downtime directly improve productivity
Track Indoor (BLE) tracking and Track Scan (QR) check-out eliminate manual searching
Predictive maintenance alerts and calibration tracking prevent surprise failures
Manufacturing Equipment Challenges
Tool Crib Inefficiency
Operators spend 15-30 minutes per shift searching for the right tools, waiting for tool crib checkout, or tracking down borrowed items. Across a factory floor with 200+ operators, this translates to hundreds of lost production hours weekly.
Unplanned Downtime
When a critical tool or fixture can't be found, production lines stop. The average cost of unplanned downtime in manufacturing exceeds $250,000 per hour for automotive and $100,000 per hour for general manufacturing.
Calibration & Compliance
Precision tools require regular calibration to maintain quality standards. Missing calibration deadlines leads to rejected batches, rework costs, and potential regulatory non-compliance.
How Sharee Tracking Solves It
Track Indoor Grid on the Production Floor
Deploy a Track Indoor (BLE) receiver grid across your production floor for zone-level tracking of tools, fixtures, and portable equipment. When a CNC operator needs a specific gauge, they check the app instead of walking the floor, locating it in seconds, not minutes.
Learn about Track →Track Scan Check-Out for Tool Cribs
Equip every tool in the crib with a Track Scan (QR/NFC) smart tag. Operators scan to check out, scan to return. The system enforces accountability, tracks usage patterns, and alerts when tools are overdue. Tool search time drops by 70%.
Learn about Track →Track Global for Heavy Equipment
Track forklifts, mobile cranes, and heavy machinery with Track Global (GPS) as they move between production buildings, warehouses, and outdoor staging areas. Geofencing ensures equipment stays in authorized zones.
Learn about Track →Track Wide for Yard & Remote Sites
Monitor equipment in large manufacturing campuses, outdoor storage, and satellite facilities with Track Wide (LoRaWAN) ultra-long range. One gateway covers the entire campus.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Track Indoor (BLE) beacons interfere with production equipment?
No. Track Indoor (BLE) operates at very low power (1-10mW) on the 2.4GHz band, far below levels that could affect CNC machines, PLCs, or measurement instruments. Track Indoor (BLE) tracking is widely used in automotive and aerospace manufacturing without interference issues.
How do we handle tool calibration tracking?
Each tagged tool has a digital record with calibration dates, methods, certificates, and next-due alerts. When calibration is performed, the technician scans the tool's Track Scan (QR/NFC) tag to log the event. The system automatically flags overdue tools and can prevent check-out of uncalibrated instruments.
Can we integrate with our MES or ERP system?
Yes. Sharee Tracking provides REST APIs for integration with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), ERP platforms (SAP, Oracle), and CMMS tools. Asset data, utilization metrics, and maintenance records can sync bidirectionally.
