with patent pending RFID Technology. This technology
allows for easy real-time access to pertinent equipment
information and technical documentation anytime,
anywhere. The database is accessible via the internet or

login information to the database provided for their assets/
equipment. Once logged into the database, customers

to each asset is complete documentation including all
contents of databook related to that specific asset. The
customer will be able to view, download and print all
documents associated with their particular assets.
