Metabo: Modern tool tracking made easy

No time-consuming searching, no fear of losing or forgetting machines, and always keeping track of which power tool is being used on which construction site – that sounds like an ideal idea for tradesmen.

Metabo has recognized this need and is introducing the new Metabo Tracker The clever solution for Location and management of tools is the result of a cooperation between Metabo and Chipoloa specialist in the development of Bluetooth trackers and the integration into Crowd Tracking NetworksThe cooperation's smart product – the Metabo Tracker – uses the Apple Find My network to locate tools worldwide and solves an annoying problem in the everyday life of a tradesman.

Click, glue, screw, bind

The compact, waterproof and robust tracker is easy to attach. To attach it to the metaBOX, all you need is a click and the tracker and metaBOX form a single unit. It is also equipped with an adhesive pad and mounting holes in the corners so that it can be glued, screwed or fixed with cable ties to any power tool.

Simply switch on and find

Once the tracker is turned on, the user pairs it with their iPhone or iPad in the Apple Find My app. The tracker is now connected to the global Apple Find My Network and can be found at its location in the future. The search is supported by loud signal tones in the local area.

Organizing your tool inventory – what, when, where?

The Metabo Tracker manages up to 32 connected objects at the same time and shows on the map in the iPhone, in Apple CarPlay or on the iPad all important information at a glance. Especially in companies that work in several locations at the same time, whose vehicles with tool equipment are on the road to the job sites, and who use their machines both in their own workshop and outside, the responsible construction site coordinator needs order and location. And the certainty that machines and tools are where they are needed – or quickly if they are forgotten or lost. In addition, the tracker can be registered in the Metabo app and linked to machines for even better power tool management.

Compatibility and flexibility

The Metabo Tracker, the Apple Find My network and the Metabo app are an intelligent trio that is useful for managing all important items on the construction site, whether it is power tools or protective equipment, means of transport or high-quality construction site lighting. The simple connection of tracker and object, the uncomplicated handling and the integration into a proven network optimise modern tool management. Metabo is also entering the development phase with a similar solution for Android users.
