1. A system comprising:
- a plurality of articles of PPE, with a smart tag attached to at least one article of PPE, wherein the smart tag carries an identifier of the at least one article of PPE and maintenance information related to the article of PPE;
a scanner configured to read the smart tag that is attached to the at least one article of PPE, wherein when the scanner detects the smart tag the scanner receives the identifier of the at least one article of PPE; and
a computing device communicatively coupled to the scanner, wherein the computing device;
receives, from the scanner, the identifier of the at least one article of PPE;
queries, based at least in part on the identifier, a datastore to determine whether the article of PPE requires maintenance at an upcoming date; and
in response to a determination by the computing device that the article of PPE requires maintenance at an upcoming date, generates an output comprising updated maintenance information related to the article of PPE.
