Hello everyone, I’m looking for a better way to control maintenance tools brought into our packaging area. Our production and packing are fully automated, with operators in a control room. However, machine breakdowns (at least twice per week), preventive maintenance, and calibration require frequent technician access.

 

Currently, we record all tools brought in, but this is time-consuming because tool bags contain many items. I’m considering defining a standard minimum tool kit, stored and pre-sanitized in the packaging area (we have a UV cabinet there). Any additional tools would require logging and cleaning per procedure.

 

Does anyone have experience defining a minimal tool list or improving this control process efficiently?

Hi Baohan88,

 

Locked tool boxes with authorised access, also have a list of contents that are checked on a regular basis.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tony
