TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
Bird detection
system
Xsight Systems offers a runway detection enhancement to
FODetect that allows airports
to more effectively address,
track and reduce ground-level
avian-related threats. BirdWize
utilizes a dual technology sensor, with millimeter-wave radar
and electro-optic capabilities,
along with advanced radar and
image processing, to detect
ground-level threats from FOD
and birds as they occur. RunWize sends real time detection
alert to the airport's wildlife team so threats are addressed.
The solution also features a comprehensive reporting system
that documents all birds and other objects detected. For more

Toolbox with
rechargeable
batteries
Snap-on Industrial's Level 5
Automated Tool Control (ATC)
toolbox can now be powered
by on-board rechargeable batteries, freeing it from a power
cord to make it more mobile.
The toolbox uses digital imaging technology and proprietary
software to monitor and track
tools as they are removed and returned – all in real time. Six
rechargeable, interchangeable batteries provide up to 16 hours
of battery life, enough for two shifts, and the batteries can
be fully recharged in three and a half hours using the ATC's
internal charging system when the box is plugged into an AC
outlet. A hot-swappable feature allows a technician to replace
an existing battery with a fully charged one without affecting
productivity. For more information visit www.snapon.com/
industrial or call (877) 740-1900.
