❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Manufacturing & Engineering specific questions
Can ErgoAssetOS track calibration due dates for instruments?
ErgoAssetOS records every loan transaction for calibrated instruments with full timestamps and technician identity, providing the chain-of-custody audit trail required by ISO 9001 and ISO 17025. Calibration due date fields can be recorded in the asset catalogue. CSV export supports integration with your existing calibration management system.
How fast is tool collection at the kiosk?
For open shelf tools, the entire process — RFID tap, tool selection, door open — takes under 30 seconds. For controlled access instruments, supervisor approval is completed remotely from any browser, typically within minutes. Designed for high-throughput production environments.
Does the system work without internet connectivity?
Yes. ErgoAssetOS operates on a local facility network using MQTT protocol and functions fully without internet. Suitable for manufacturing plants, clean rooms, and industrial facilities with restricted network access. All data stored on-premises.
Can we set different access levels for apprentices vs senior technicians?
Yes. The access matrix allows supervisors to configure per-employee permissions by role. Apprentices may be restricted to common hand tools, while senior technicians and quality engineers access calibrated instruments and precision equipment.
How does the system handle tools shared across multiple production lines?
Shared tools are managed through the booking workflow. Technicians from any line request shared tools via portal or kiosk, specifying the required time window. The system prevents double-booking and provides real-time availability across all lines.
