Cooperation with PWSK!
PWSK Sp. z o. o.. – the owner of the RFID Polska brand, a company operating since 1992, specializes in developing RFID software and systems that support the management of enterprise assets, tools, and resources. In 2014, the company launched a dedicated RFID division and created the RFID Polska brand, under which it develops solutions that automate production, warehousing, and inventory processes.
The company helps businesses modernize asset, tool, and company resource management while reducing tool-related expenses by up to 40%. The company's solutions streamline production, warehousing, and inventory processes, helping organizations align processes with ISO standards.
Solutions developed by PWSK are used in the industrial, energy, automotive, shipbuilding, military, construction and public administration sectors. The company currently has over 1,300 clients and has completed over 2,700 implementations of its systems in Poland and on European markets.
Customer Mission and Values
PWSK focuses primarily on solving real organizational problems and building long-term relationships with clients. The company does not limit itself to implementing systems, but actively supports enterprises in organizing processes related to tool management, asset control and work organization.
The key area of activity are solutions developed under the RFID Polska brand:
- Toolroom software supporting the recording and management of tools, tool warehouses, health and safety measures and technical inspections,
- The Quick Inventory Program uses RFID technology to streamline inventory processes,
- RFID systems enabling the control of materials, returnable containers and tools in demanding industrial environments.
Working environment and project requirements
One of the projects carried out was the implementation of a solution supporting tool management in a shift work environment. The main goal was to centralize and digitize processes related to the issuance and return of tools, while ensuring full user identification and system continuity.
The project involved combining the Narzędziownia ToolBox software developed by PWSK with a hardware infrastructure provided by IMAGO Poland, enabling 24/7 tool self-service. The key was to create a solution that would operate stably in a shift-based work environment, where the system must be available 24/7, including during the third shift.
Another important element of the project was the ability to record all operations in real time, along with employee identification via RFID cards and the user's electronic signature. This enabled full monitoring of tool collection and usage history.
IMAGO kiosks as a hardware layer of the ToolBox PWSK system
As part of the project IMAGO Poland provided self-service kiosk prepared for the implementation of the ToolBox system developed by PWSK. The workstation was configured in accordance with the Partner's requirements and adapted to the installation of dedicated software.
The kiosk serves as a central point of service for tool management, allowing users to independently retrieve and return tools without the need for additional staff. The entire system operates unattended 24/7, supporting shift work organization and ensuring business continuity.
A key requirement of the project was the stability of the devices and their ability to operate continuously. Implementation required the preparation of a LAN-ready kiosk and integration with the client's software.
How did the solution improve your daily work?
Combining the PWSK ToolBox system with a kiosk provided by IMAGO Poland allowed for the automation and streamlining of tool management processes. The system records every operation in real time, maintaining a history of tool rentals and usage.
Thanks to the implementation:
- manual data entry has been eliminated,
- the risk of errors is reduced,
- the amount of paper documentation has been reduced,
- the organization of shift work has been improved,
- 24/7 system availability is ensured,
- the need to create additional service stations has been reduced.
In practice, the solution allowed for increased control over the flow of tools and simplified the daily work of end users.
Why IMAGO Poland?
The decision to cooperate with IMAGO Poland was related to the recommendation of the business partner and the possibility of adapting the solution to the specific requirements of the project.
The kiosk was designed in accordance with PWSK guidelines and the requirements related to the installation of the ToolBox system. Integration of the hardware with dedicated software and ensuring reliable, continuous operation were key considerations.
The project did not require advanced environmental testing, but the stability of the devices and their readiness to work in a 24/7 model were crucial.
Cooperation
Cooperation between PWSK a IMAGO Poland was based on efficient communication and a flexible approach to project requirements. Of particular importance was the ability to prepare the kiosk in accordance with the partner's requirements and the readiness to implement a non-standard implementation.
As PWSK emphasizes, in IT projects the key importance is given to reliability of the equipment, flexibility of the technology partner and quick response to technical requirements. These elements were some of the most important aspects of cooperation with IMAGO Poland.
