Abstract

Storage of power tools is of utmost importance, primarily due to the limited storage space available and the need to ensure that all used tools are returned to their proper place, aiming to assure work / manufacturing efficiency. In response to this ongoing problem, the current study aims to develop an innovative solution: a smart storage box. This smart storage box is designed to provide users with real-time information about its content and location. Equipped with advanced sensors and connectivity features, the box will allow users to quickly and easily checking the presence and correct positioning of each tool, as well as where it is. By integrating technology into tool storage, represents a significant step forward in addressing the practical challenges faced by both individual users and larger organizations. The goal is to reduce time spent searching for tools, minimize the risk of loss or misplacement, and ultimately simplify workflow, and consequently attaining manufacturing efficiency.
