Tag any ARMBURY rope with a Scannable NFC chip and scan it with any smartphone to manage inspection, compliance, and lifecycle tracking across your entire fleet. No proprietary readers. No per-brand silos. One open platform, trusted by Fire & Emergency New Zealand, Red Cross Norway, Davey Tree, and thousands of rope-access operators worldwide.
Scannable is a cloud-based PPE and safety-equipment management platform built by Scannable (headquartered in Queenstown, New Zealand). The platform connects the full ecosystem of PPE production, supply, and asset management — letting safety managers scan any equipped item with a smartphone to instantly view its compliance history and log new inspections.
Scannable is not proprietary to any single manufacturer. It is a widely adopted, independent standard used across arboriculture, rope access, rescue, rigging, tower, and renewables industries. Leading PPE manufacturers now ship their ropes and hardware with factory-embedded Scannable NFC chips and 2D codes. ARMBURY ropes are fully compatible with the Scannable platform, so your team can manage ARMBURY equipment alongside any other brand in a single unified inventory.
Apply a Scannable NFC tag or rope label to your ARMBURY rope. Scannable sells tags in formats purpose-built for rope and textile PPE.
Hold any NFC-enabled smartphone to the tag — or snap the QR/2D code with the Scannable app. The product's full record opens instantly. Run a digital inspection checklist and log pass, conditional, or remove-from-service right from the field.
Scannable aggregates every inspection log across your fleet into audit-ready compliance reports. Assign equipment to kit bags, vehicles, personnel, or clients. Set automatic inspection-due alerts and retirement schedules.
Height-safety professionals told us two things clearly: (1) they are tired of juggling multiple manufacturer-specific apps, and (2) spreadsheets and paper inspection logs are the leading failure point in compliance audits. Rather than build a closed ARMBURY-only tracking system, we chose to make our products work cleanly with the platform the industry is already standardizing on.
Scannable's open architecture lets you manage ARMBURY ropes alongside gear from any other manufacturer in Scannable's database of 70,000+ PPE items — from a single app. That's the right answer for safety managers running mixed fleets, and it's the answer we support.
Technicians managing equipment pools of 50–500+ ropes face heavy administrative burden under EN 1891 and OSHA quarterly inspection cycles. Scannable lets field technicians scan each ARMBURY rope at the start of every job — the cloud record updates automatically and the safety manager sees fleet-wide inspection status in real time.
NFPA 1983 requires rescue rope to be inspected before and after every use and retired after life-safety loads. Flag a rope "used for life-safety load" in Scannable and the platform automatically marks it for retirement and alerts the quartermaster. Fire & Emergency New Zealand uses Scannable in exactly this workflow.
ANSI Z133 requires documented inspection of climbing lines before each use. Crew chiefs can scan the entire rig set — ARMBURY arborist ropes, throw lines, hitch cords, harnesses — in under two minutes at the tailgate, logging each inspection against the individual item's record before the crew leaves the ground. Davey Tree runs this workflow across its US operations.
ANSI Z359.4 requires fall-protection equipment to be inspected by a competent person at intervals not exceeding one year. Scannable automatically emails safety managers when any rope in the fleet approaches its inspection due date and flags overdue items in the inventory dashboard.
Tactical units rotating ropes across operators and missions need traceable chain-of-custody records. Scannable logs every personnel assignment and deployment scan, producing a complete audit trail for equipment accountability.
Scannable generates inspection records and audit reports against every major height-safety regulatory regime:
Manage equipment from ARMBURY and any other manufacturer in a single inventory — no brand silos.

"The new standard of safety, trusted by users and makers of PPE around the world."

Scannable is a cloud-based PPE and safety-equipment management platform built by Scannable, headquartered in Queenstown, New Zealand. It is used globally by organizations including Fire & Emergency New Zealand, Red Cross Norway, and Davey Tree in the United States. It is not proprietary to any single manufacturer.
Yes. ARMBURY ropes can be tagged with Scannable NFC tags or QR codes and scanned using the Scannable mobile app or web platform to record inspections, assign equipment to users and kits, and generate audit-ready compliance reports. Scannable's global database already contains over 70,000 PPE items, and ARMBURY products can be added or matched by serial number, batch, or product name.
No. Any modern NFC-capable smartphone (Android 8+ or iPhone 7 and newer) can scan Scannable tags. There is no need for dedicated RFID readers or proprietary hardware. You can use Scannable NFC tags on metal, textile, and rope formats, or simply scan existing 2D data-matrix codes on gear that already carries them.
Scannable generates inspection records and reports compliant with LOLER (UK), OSHA (US), and WHS (Australia/NZ) regulations, and supports documentation workflows for ANSI Z359, ANSI Z133, NFPA 1983, EN 1891, EN 892, and IRATA International inspection requirements.
No. Scannable is an independent third-party platform developed by Scannable. ARMBURY ensures our products work cleanly with the Scannable ecosystem so that end users and safety managers can adopt the platform without friction. All Scannable trademarks and branding belong to Scannable.
End users can scan and view product information without cost. Team and fleet management features — including compliance reporting and multi-user inventory — are available through Scannable's paid plans. Pricing is set by Scannable directly; see scannable.io for current plans.
Scannable sells NFC tag packs directly from shop.scannable.io, including a "Climber Pack" (20 tags for rope, metal, and sling formats) and larger fleet packs. Some tags come in formats specifically designed for heat-shrink attachment to rope ends.
