Whether you like it or not, the digital jobsite of the future is here now, and is here to stay, with mobile apps front and centre of the digital revolution. Recent statistics show that four out of five construction managers use mobile devices to manage products, with the same number of construction workers agreeing that apps are an important tool for the job site.
From improving productivity through to helping eliminate tool theft, mobile apps are helping us to work smarter and with greater peace of mind.
Milwaukee Tools have pioneered the latest industry-changing technology with the introduction of the downloadable App called ONE-KEY, the first digital platform for tools and equipment. ONE-KEY provides a level of control and access to information that will revolutionise the way you work, and fundamentally change the way users interact with their tools.
ONE-KEY currently offers four key features to greatly improve productivity and tool security:
Tool tracking with Milwaukee One Key
Tool theft could become a thing of the past, with ONE-KEY's integrated tool tracking providing full visibility of where and when your tools are being used across your network of jobsites and users. The ONE-KEY App will track all compatible tools within 30m of your phone, allowing you to pinpoint missing tools quicker and increase accountability. The last known location of the tool will be stored on the app even when the device or tool goes out of range.
A lost or stolen tool can then be activated as missing so that if it is picked up by any in-range device on the ONE-KEY network, a push notification with its location will be sent to the missing tool’s owner.
ONE-KEY also allows you to lock your tool and disable remotely, rendering it unusable for any potential thieves.
Tool control with Milwaukee One Key
Tool control offers unlimited tool customisation, allowing you to take control of the tools output and configure them to suit your requirements.
The ONE-KEY App wirelessly syncs to compatible tools allowing you to program custom settings directly into the tool’s memory.
Inventory management with Milwaukee One Key
With simplified tool and equipment management you can keep detailed records of all inventory from any manufacturer or brand, to easily build a budget and manage annual spend on equipment. The inventory management allows you to organise inventory how you like, and access real-time data such as records, receipts and images from any place any time.
Tool reporting with Milwaukee One Key
Tool reporting provides real time information sharing on crimper utilisation. Wirelessly sync to the crimper with just one touch, to transfer and store crimp data to the cloud. You can then use this data to close out jobs with proven accuracy, and build professional reports customised to your company.
The ONE-KEY App is supported by Android and iOS smart phones, is free to download and use, and is available for download now from the Google Play Store and the App Store.
