>> I need to put in place a tool tracking solution at my construction

>> I work for a development company and we put it in our contract that we

>>
>> The project is over two years old and we are just now putting this
>> technology in place. We want to bar-code all $1,000+ small tools and
>> keep a record of them.
>>
>> Here is my question: What issues are involved tracking smalls tools
>> on a construction site?
>>
>> Do I need metal bar codes? Can I glue on the bar codes or do I need
>> to rivet them on?
>>
>> What are some off the shelf solutions that suit my purposes?

> RFID would be better than a bar code.
