In today’s fast‑paced construction and industrial environments, managing tools, schedules, and inventory can become a major bottleneck. Agilix Solutions knows that time is money, and downtime costs more than missed deadlines. It erodes your bottom line. That’s why Milwaukee Tool’s One‑Key™ connectivity platform is so powerful: it turns your tool fleet into a a more secure and trackable set of assets.
What Is One‑Key™?
One‑Key™ is Milwaukee’s free Bluetooth‑based inventory and connectivity app that works across desktop, iOS, and Android devices. It’s built around three core pillars:
- Inventory & Tracking – Digitally track tools and equipment in real time.
- Tool Customization – Adjust settings like speed, torque, trigger response.
- Data & Integrations – Connect usage logs into broader systems and workflows.
The app works with over 120 One‑Key–enabled smart tools and devices and separate Bluetooth tags that attach to other gear or assets.
Standout Features of One‑Key™
Bluetooth Low‑Energy Connectivity
One‑Key tools or tags feature Bluetooth modules that constantly broadcast presence using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). That means extended battery life on both the tool/tag and your mobile device during tracking.
When any mobile device with the One‑Key app is nearby (typically within 300 ft), it captures the tool’s location and syncs it to the cloud. Each tag can also record last‑moved data via an onboard accelerometer, identifying real movement rather than just a bump.
Inventory Management in the Cloud
Once your tools and tags are paired into your inventory dashboard, you can:
- See who has what tools and where.
- Label jobsite locations, crew groups, and divisions for tighter accountability.
- Generate usage and movement reports across crews and projects.
This centralized view minimizes reliance on paper logs, reduces shrinkage, and keeps your workforce focused on productive tasks instead of chasing down tools.
Custom Tool Settings
One of One‑Key’s standout features is tool customization. Through the mobile or web app, you can wirelessly program:
- Custom torque settings.
- Trigger responsiveness or ramp‑up behavior.
- Mode profiles saved directly into the tool’s memory.
Once uploaded, the tool operates independently of the phone. Tools are configured to support consistent performance across operators and shifts.
Tool Lockout & Theft Protection
Mark a tool as “lost or stolen” through the app. If it’s ever seen by another One‑Key device, even without battery attached, you’ll receive alerts and location info. The device lock prevents unauthorized use and aids in recovery, all without manual searches.
