In high-risk working environments, the management of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential to guarantee worker safety. Every employee must have equipment that is compliant, in good condition and replaced on time. Precise tracking is necessary to avoid losses, ensure compliance with safety standards and optimize inventory management.

Chainway traceability solutions automate PPE management using RFID and barcode technologies. Equipped with UHF/HF RFID readers and 1D/2D scanners, Chainway's Mobile computers identify and track each piece of equipment, and transmit data in real time via 4G/3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. This digitization improves inventory visibility, reduces errors and ensures rigorous control of equipment allocation and renewal.

Equipment allocation

During distribution, each piece of PPE is scanned with a Chainway Mobile computer and associated with an employee. All information is automatically recorded in the database, enabling precise tracking of equipment use and lifespan. This traceability prevents losses and ensures that every worker has the right equipment.

Conformity check

As PPE is subject to strict regulations, its condition must be checked regularly. With Chainway solutions, managers can check the condition of equipment in real time, schedule safety checks and receive alerts when replacement is required. This proactive management prevents the use of faulty equipment and ensures compliance with current standards.

Returns and inventory management

When an employee returns PPE, the Chainway terminal immediately updates the stock status. Reusable equipment can be checked, cleaned and returned to service, while those requiring replacement are flagged. This optimized management ensures continuous equipment availability and avoids stock-outs.

With Chainway traceability solutions, companies can improve PPE management, guarantee employee safety and reduce waste, while optimizing costs and logistics.
