Keeping track of things can be hard. For some things that's fine, I mean losing track of a remote control, or a pen you like, that isn't that bad. But when you pay thousands of dollars for something that is different. It is a game-changer. Particularly when it is for work.
Now days technology and costs have finally hit a point where it is practical for an increasing number of companies to implement software/hardware packages for tracking equipment. This is the kind of technology that I feel like should have always been present. The ability to know what is where and who is doing what. It is like a SIMS level of perspective. The more information you have, the more capable you are to optimize things and I love the concept of optimizing. It is beautiful.
As companies are able to put more actual numbers to things businesses can become more science and less art. I certainly think art will be a factor for some time, but as we implement more and more tools we will be able to see more and more of the science behind things. We'll be able to make things numerically based instead of feeling based.
It's progress. Soon we'll only need robots.
