Tool Audit

Visual Tool Audits: A Game-Changer for Manufacturing and Engineering

Regular visual tool audits have a profound impact across engineering and manufacturing organisations.

They help ensure tool integrity and safety, maintain product quality, support compliance with industry standards, reduce downtime and operational costs, enhance accountability and traceability, and empower operators and technicians on the shop floor.

Yet despite their importance, audits are often viewed as a tedious chore with a lack of buy-in and execution from the team. That’s where KIT technology transforms the experience.

By embedding KIT into foam inlays within your toolboxes, inspections are faster, more consistent, and significantly more effective — delivering unprecedented time savings.

As one leading British Defence Test & Manufacturing customer put it:

“When we audit our tooling, it gives us confidence that when we say yes to customer projects, we can actually go and do it. We don’t come unstuck in the delivery. So when we make a commitment to a customer, we do it with 100% confidence that we can stand behind what we’ve promised.”

Visual Tool Audits in Record Time

We get it — visual tool audits aren’t exactly thrilling. But they’re essential. A quick snapshot of your tool inventory can be the difference between hitting a customer deadline or missing it — and that hits your bottom line.

So how do we take the sting out of it?

KIT makes visual audits fast and effortless. Just click on tool spaces in a drawer or shadowboard to flag missing, broken, or damaged tools — and you can audit an entire drawer in under 30 seconds.

No more chasing updates or relying on word of mouth. Just record the facts in KIT via your smartphone tablet or PC — and let it handle the rest.

Less admin. Faster audits. More uptime.

Spot Tool Use and Abuse with Itemised Audit Histories Before It Hits Your Bottom Line

Ever feel like some tools break too easily, go missing too often, or never seem to be where they should be — but struggle to prove it?

KIT gives you the audit trail you’ve been missing. With full item and location audit histories, you can track tool presence, spot patterns in usage, and uncover recurring issues with availability, calibration or reliability.

It’s the insight you need to plan smarter, procure better, and stay ahead as your business grows.

Track trends. Prevent failures. Stay in control.

Traceability at Your Fingertips

You’ve done the audits — now what? Without clear insights, it’s hard to know where to focus or how to improve tool availability, team productivity, and customer delivery.

KIT turns audit data into action. With intuitive dashboards and detailed reports, you get instant visibility into audit progress, missing or broken tools, and alerts that help you act before issues become blockers to normal production, critical projects or even scheduled maintenance.

It’s not just data — it’s decision-ready insight.

See clearly. Act quickly. Stay productive.
