FieldID

What is FIELDID?

FieldID is our database in which all chain slings, new, used and inspected, are stored. This database is accessible by our “field” service division and can be made accessible to our customers as well. Each sling data and inspection history is stored in this “FIELD” database which can be read by any computer with access to the internet. NO special software is required, just your late version internet browser like Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Netscape, etc.

How do I get access to the database?

Access is made availabe through a website and a series of usernames and passwords. All you need is a computer with internet access. The database is NOT located at Unirope but at a secure, professionally managed information storage facility.

How do I read the FIELDID tag?

Scanning of a lifting chain tag with an embedded RFID chip brings up all product and safety information, as well as the past inspection history. If no chip is installed (RFID chips for 7/32” to 1/2” slings are optional) you enter one of any of 3 search criteria like sling ID number, yours or ours serial number, last inspection ID number, product type, etc.

Rigger’s Choice® chain slings come equipped with a FieldID tag.

This system allows us and our customers to:

  • Perform inspections and print inspection certificates on demand
  • Allows our customers to view and print their inspection certificates through their web browser
  • Have documents instantly available such as safety inspection, and product information
