Holland 1916 announced its rugged RFID Nameplate Tag designed for automating the inspection and audit processes found in mining, construction, and oil rigs.
Made up of of stainless steel to endure the harshest environments, Holland’s embedded RFID tags are attached to the various location stations of safety equipment. This enables inspectors and auditors to electronically record locations and upload an automated record of time, location, personnel and equipment status to the inspection software using handheld RFID readers.
This automated RFID inspection and audit solution aids in mine inspection, as well as safety by increasing the efficiency and accuracy. It also reduces certain audit incidences and large paper trails (i.e., reports can get lost, are hard to track, and inputting information by hand can be labor-intensive).
The service submits reports to such regulating bodies as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).
