ABSTRACT:
To track a large number of tools, the tools are kept in sets with each set having a container. A silhouette of each tool stored in the container is printed at the point of storage along with a data matrix code that has stored in binary code a description of the too, the part number, and an identification of the kit of which it is a part. The associated tool has etched into the surface thereof a data matrix code containing the same information as the code printed at the point of storage. The data matrix codes are readable by a scanner and a record of all the tools is maintained on a computer.
