Asset tracking software for manufacturing helps plant and maintenance teams run a single asset register with calibrated instruments, machine safety records and work orders. MapTrack combines QR scanning and OEM telematics with digital tool crib check-in and check-out, calibration intervals for gauges and torque wrenches, lockout/tagout and pre-start records, and meter-based servicing. Manufacturers use it to protect ISO 9001 and ISO 55001 evidence on each asset, cut into unplanned production downtime, and recover the time maintenance coordinators lose to manual tracking. ABB’s 2023 Value of Reliability survey puts unplanned downtime at close to A$349,000 an hour for the typical Australian industrial business, and CMMS users in an A.T. Kearney and IndustryWeek survey of 558 companies (1994) reported 28.3% higher maintenance productivity.

Key takeaways

  • ABB’s 2023 Value of Reliability survey puts unplanned downtime at close to A$349,000 an hour for the typical Australian industrial business, against A$194,000 globally. 24% of Australian businesses surveyed still rely on run-to-fail maintenance.
  • ISO 55001 asset management requires documented information, lifecycle events and performance evaluation tied to each asset, not the plant as a whole.
  • Calibrated instruments (gauges, torque wrenches, multimeters) sit under AS ISO/IEC 17025 intervals; missed calibrations void ISO 9001 quality evidence.
  • Lockout/tagout (AS/NZS 4024 machine safety) and pre-start records must be attached to the specific asset to survive a customer or accreditation audit.
  • Unplanned downtime costs the typical Australian business around $349,000 per hour (ABB, 2023); OEE improvement starts with a single maintenance source of truth.
  • Digital tool crib check-in/check-out replaces honour systems and the manual logs maintenance coordinators keep by hand each week.

Pricing

One price per machine, with the hardware included: software and a QR tag from $12 a machine a month, GPS tracking from $27 and AI cameras from $72. Tools and equipment start at $1/asset/month. Every plan includes unlimited users. Prices are AUD ex GST, and machine prices are for annual billing.

Manufacturing asset tracking for tools, gauges and plant

Manufacturing asset tracking covers the tool store, the calibrated gauges and the machines on the floor. In MapTrack each welder, grinder, torque wrench, gauge and forklift gets a QR label and its own record. Scan tools out to the person taking them and back in. Gauges and torque wrenches carry their last and next calibration with the cert attached, due every 12 months or on a cycle count you log. Forklift and machine pre starts run on the phone, and a failed check can raise the repair job through a rule you set.

How to choose manufacturing asset tracking software

Look for:

  1. Tools scanned out to the person taking them and back in
  2. Gauges and torque wrenches calibrated every 12 months or on a cycle count you log
  3. Test and tag, and machine checks, run as one job
  4. Forklift pre starts on the phone before every shift
  5. A failed check that can raise the repair job through a rule you set

Where MapTrack fits

Next to an EAM or ERP

If fixed plant, work planning and finance sit in an EAM or ERP, MapTrack can run beside it for the tools, equipment and vehicles that move between sites and crews. Its public API passes records between the two.

The challenge

The costs of poorly managed manufacturing assets

Manufacturing assets don't sit still. They move between production lines, tool cribs and plants, need calibration on schedule, require documented compliance evidence, and their absence can halt entire production runs.

Tools and jigs move between lines with no tracking

Specialty tooling, jigs and fixtures get borrowed between production lines, shifts and departments. Without a clear chain of custody you lose time searching, re-purchase prematurely and production stalls while teams hunt for critical tooling.

Calibration due dates missed across the fleet

Gauges, test instruments and measurement equipment need calibration on schedule. When certificates live in filing cabinets or scattered spreadsheets, overdue calibrations get missed - putting product quality, ISO compliance and customer audits at risk.

Tool crib has no digital check-in/check-out

Paper sign-out sheets and honour systems mean you never really know who has what. Tools go missing between shifts, duplicates get purchased because nobody can confirm what's already available, and crib managers spend hours chasing returns.

Production stalls when critical tooling can't be found

When a die, fixture or specialty tool can't be located, a production line can grind to a halt. Every minute of unplanned downtime costs output, delays orders and cascades across the schedule. You need instant visibility of where every critical asset is.

Multi-plant visibility is fragmented

Assets spread across multiple plants, warehouses and workshops with no single view. Each site runs its own spreadsheet or system. Leadership can't see the full picture without manual consolidation, making capital planning and reallocation reactive.

From MapTrack's own data

What we see across MapTrack customer accounts

These figures come from MapTrack's own product data, de-identified and aggregated. Accounts aren't grouped by industry, so each figure covers every qualifying customer account, not one industry alone. Every figure counts at least 20 accounts, and each one says how it was measured.

15%

Scheduled services past their due date

Across 32 MapTrack customer accounts with service schedules, 15% of scheduled services were past their due date on 26 October 2026. More than three quarters of those (78%) were over 30 days past due.

Method: MapTrack's own product data: 32 customer accounts with service schedules, 5,855 scheduled services (884 past due), snapshot at 26 October 2026. Demo, test and trial-build accounts are left out. Includes schedules MapTrack set up during onboarding; the servicing itself is the customer's. One account holds 53% of the past-due services; without it the share is 16%. Some past-due items may be assets no longer in use that were never archived.

More than 80 days

How late a missed service runs

Across 32 MapTrack customer accounts, a service that was past due on 26 October 2026 was typically more than 80 days overdue.

Method: MapTrack's own product data: 32 customer accounts, 884 past-due services, snapshot at 26 October 2026. Demo, test and trial-build accounts are left out. Includes schedules MapTrack set up during onboarding; the servicing itself is the customer's. Typical means the median: 105 days across all past-due services and 82 days with the largest account left out, so the lower figure is used.

About 160

Size of a typical register

The typical MapTrack customer account tracks about 160 assets, and a quarter track more than 425 (62 accounts, 26 October 2026).

Method: MapTrack's own product data: 62 customer accounts, 24,507 assets, snapshot at 26 October 2026. Demo, test and trial-build accounts and anything MapTrack staff created are left out. Median 157, middle half 40 to 428. Counts only assets customers added themselves, so registers MapTrack staff imported read low.

    Each machine has its own record, and inspection forms are signed and kept on it, with the next one showing as due soon or overdue.

  • United Kingdom, lifting equipment and lifting accessories

    LOLER 1998, regulation 9, thorough examination and inspection

    What it asks for

    Lifting equipment exposed to conditions that cause deterioration is thoroughly examined at least every 6 months if it lifts people or is a lifting accessory, and at least every 12 months otherwise, or to an examination scheme, plus after anything exceptional. A competent person inspects it between examinations where that suits, and equipment going to another business carries evidence of its last thorough examination.

    How MapTrack keeps the record

    Overhead cranes, hoists, forklifts and lifting accessories carry their thorough examination dates and reports on their records, on a 6 or 12 month schedule.

  • Great Britain, installed and mobile pressure systems

    Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, regulation 8, written scheme of examination

    What it asks for

    A pressure system isn't operated without a written scheme, drawn up or certified by a competent person, for the periodic examination of its protective devices and of the pressure vessels, pipelines and pipework where a defect could cause danger. The scheme names those parts and sets the nature and frequency of each examination, and is reviewed at appropriate intervals.

    How MapTrack keeps the record

    Each receiver, vessel and relief valve named in the scheme is its own record, with the scheme and examination reports attached and the next examination showing as due soon or overdue.

Written scheme of examination
The document PSSR asks for before a pressure system runs, drawn up or certified by a competent person, naming the parts to examine and how often.

MapTrack keeps the records these rules ask you to keep. It does not do the inspection or testing, certify your work or make you compliant, and the current text of each instrument is the authority.

Stop the loss

Tool loss and missed calibrations are the two biggest controllable costs in manufacturing asset management

MapTrack gives your team the visibility, accountability and compliance triggers to cut both without adding headcount or replacing your existing systems.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from manufacturing teams.

Manufacturing asset management software is a platform that helps manufacturing operations track, manage and maintain their tools, jigs, calibrated equipment, mobile assets and production devices across plants, lines and sites. It replaces spreadsheets, paper tool crib logs and disconnected point solutions with a single source of truth for where assets are, who has them, what their calibration status is and when they're due for service. MapTrack combines asset tracking (QR codes, barcodes, GPS), calibration and compliance registers, maintenance scheduling and work orders, and reporting, all on mobile on the factory floor.

Yes. MapTrack stores calibration due dates, certificates and evidence directly on each asset record. You can set alerts for upcoming and overdue calibration, so nothing slips through. When an instrument or gauge is due for calibration, the system notifies the responsible team. All calibration history is searchable and exportable for ISO audits, customer audits and internal quality reviews.

MapTrack replaces paper sign-out sheets and honour systems with a digital check-in/check-out workflow. Operators scan a QR code or barcode on the tool, select their name or badge, and the system records who has what, when it was taken and when it's due back. Tool crib managers get real-time visibility of what's out, what's overdue and who had it last. This eliminates the guesswork and reduces tool loss significantly.

MapTrack has an open API for integration with manufacturing execution systems (MES), enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms and other operational systems. Common integrations include syncing asset registers, pushing maintenance completion data back to your ERP, and pulling work order triggers from production systems. We can discuss your specific MES, ERP or SCADA environment and how MapTrack fits alongside it.

Yes. MapTrack is built for assets that move. Track forklifts, trolleys, pallet jacks and mobile equipment with QR or barcode labels. For assets with GPS or telematics devices fitted, such as forklifts or yard vehicles - location and usage data can feed into MapTrack automatically. Assignments show which line, cell or operator has which asset at any time.

MapTrack supports multi-plant and multi-site rollouts with role-based access control (RBAC) and SSO. Each plant or department sees their own assets, while operations and leadership get a consolidated view across all sites. You can run reports, audits and compliance reviews by plant, line, asset class or any combination. Assets transferring between plants are tracked with timestamps and approval workflows.

Yes. Forklifts, reach trucks, pallet jacks and other material handling equipment (MHE) are common asset types in MapTrack. You can run daily pre-start inspections on mobile, track service history, schedule maintenance based on hours or calendar, and record compliance certificates, all attached to each unit. Where telematics devices are fitted (Teletrac Navman, Geotab or similar), usage and location data feeds in automatically.

Use bulk scanning (QR or barcode) to verify what's on a specific plant floor, in a tool crib or assigned to a production line. MapTrack records each asset scanned, when it was scanned and who scanned it. Compare scanned results to expected asset lists and immediately see what's missing, unscanned or unaccounted for. Reports by plant, line or asset class give you audit-ready evidence. Stocktakes that used to take a full shift with clipboards now take a fraction of the time on mobile.

MapTrack uses per-asset pricing with unlimited users included. Not per-seat licensing. You can give access to every operator, tool crib manager, maintenance technician, quality engineer and supervisor without your costs growing as the team does. This is a significant advantage in manufacturing where shift sizes vary, contractors rotate through and you may need dozens or hundreds of people to be able to scan, check out tools or complete forms. Pricing scales with the number of assets you track, not the size of your team.

Most manufacturing teams are running on MapTrack within one to two weeks. The typical approach is to start with one plant or one asset class, such as calibrated equipment or the tool crib: import or scan in assets, set up your first workflows (usually calibration tracking or check-in/check-out), and roll out to floor teams. MapTrack's onboarding team supports you through setup and training at no additional cost. For larger multi-plant rollouts, a phased approach works well: get adoption solid on one workflow, then expand to more asset types and sites.

One that handles tools, calibrated instruments and machines together, so maintenance and quality records sit on the same register. Look for QR check-out with due-back times, calibration schedules that flag overdue gauges at check-out, pre starts and inspections on the phone, and servicing on run hours. MapTrack does all of that, with per-asset pricing and unlimited users across every plant.

Set each plant up as a location, with zones for the store, the workshop and each line, and put every machine and tool on one register. Machine services close out on work orders with labour, parts and costs, and tools are scanned out and back with a due-back time. Each plant's store can be audited by scan, and every plant's records sit in the same account.
