Client Overview

Our client operates in the mechanical service industry, where technicians rely on specialized tools transported in designated trolleys. Each trolley contains multiple trays with pre-arranged toolsets required for on-site service tasks.

However, missing or misplaced tools were a frequent issue, leading to service delays, dissatisfied customers, and financial losses.

The client needed a smart, AI automated solution to verify tool availability before technicians left for service calls, ensuring efficiency and accountability.

The Challenge

The client faced several key challenges:

Lack of Verification

Technicians often forgot to check tool availability before leaving.

Service Disruptions

Missing tools led to delays, job cancellations, and dissatisfied customers.

No Tracking System

Without accountability measures, it was difficult to determine who was responsible for missing tools.

To solve these issues, the client needed an AI-powered tool verification system that could automate tracking, reduce errors, and enhance service efficiency.

Our AI-Driven Solution

We developed a Custom AI-Powered Computer Vision Mobile App that scans tool trays before technicians leave, ensuring all tools are accounted for. The AI system uses pre-trained machine learning models to detect missing tools in real time.

Real-Time AI Tool Detection

  • AI-powered image recognition scans tool trays and detects missing tools instantly.
  • Compares real-time images with predefined tray layouts for quick verification.
  • Instant alerts notify technicians of missing tools before departure.

Employee Accountability & Tracking

  • Logs employee name, date, and time for every scan.
  • Provides full traceability of who handled which tools.
  • Encourages staff to be more accountable for tool management.

Reporting & Analytics for Smarter Decisions

  • Generates detailed reports on tool loss trends and employee performance.
  • Helps managers identify inefficiencies and streamline operations.
  • Enables data-driven workforce optimization for better decision-making.

The Result

The AI-powered solution delivered significant improvements for the client:
