APPLICATIONS REPORT | LIFTING ATTACHMENTS
carry out daily and weekly pre use checks. And they receive a weekly report with all equipment used during that week. So end users can also identify any potential faults and quarantine the defective equipment immediately,” said Teeder. “There are many different tags available.
In various shapes and sizes. We’re now getting RFID tags sewn into Endless Roundslings and duplex webbing slings with the help of Unitex group. We are now getting shackles from Crosby group with RFID tags already installed. which makes our job even easier. Chain slings are also coming in with RFID metal tag already attached as well. So, before any equipment leaves any RSS groups locations. The piece of lifting equipment will have an RFID tag, correct colour code system as per our customers’ requirements and pre-loaded onto the online system. Before anything is delivered to any project in the UK.
“A lot of companies are now putting this as best practice across their projects especially for the likes of HS2 and Thames Tideway projects to name a few. It’s great to be involved with such projects and pushing the boundaries of innovation by collaborating on major construction and infrastructure projects. This will only benefit RSS going forward and keeps our competitors at arm’s length whilst we develop the system further to cater for all of our customers.” Yoke Industrial Corp. is another company
now supplying shackles embedded with RFID chips from 1/2” up to 4” for pre- use inspection, via its NFC (Near-Field Communication) mobile and reader system. Yoke RFID SupraBlue tag technology has
created a practical system for everyone with a mobile device or industry standard RFID reader to follow a simple step-by-
SICK MONITORING BOX
Sick has launched The Monitoring Box, for plug-and-play condition monitoring and preventative maintenance of sensors, machines, processes and plants with live status feedback and historical analysis,
With the Sick Monitoring Box, operations such as ports and terminals using cranes and hoist systems can begin to digitalise LiDAR sensors for collision avoidance, for Device data is processed via IoT gateways
to enable local data storage on customer premises or via secure connection to the

step pre-use inspection and verification programme. Its standard 13.56Mhz chips can be found in products including 1.5t shackles, 6mm chain slings, 2t snatch block, swivels and 8mm lifting points. “We announced the technology at the
end of 2021 to offer users a more complete range of shackles for RFID solutions. The industry has been struggling for years to offer users in the field easy access to pre-use inspection systems (traditionally the inspection records were filed on paper), visibility of safe use instructions and previous certification, as well as identifying the status and location of their rigging equipment,” says Mandy Liao, marketing executive, Yoke Industrial Corp. “This year we plan to expand our
portfolio with products embedded with RFID chips from our Yellow Point series to Shackles (both screw pin and bolt pin type) and Yellow Snatch Block series.” ●
