Tool shadow boards
A shadow board designed and labelled to your exact tool set, so a missing item is obvious at a glance and every tool has a fixed home.
DetailsDefence
Secure tool control for controlled environments
Defence manufacturing and maintenance sites combine tight tool accountability with access control. We make lockable, numbered boards and management boards that work inside secure areas, with documentation that fits your procedures.
What we see on site
Common problems in defence
Problem 01
Access control
Tools must be secured when not in use and their issue recorded.
Problem 02
Multi-site consistency
The same standard has to hold across depots, workshops and deployed facilities.
Problem 03
Long-life equipment
Boards need to survive years of use in workshops, vehicle bays and hangars.
