Challenges

  • Manage autonomous access and traceability of movements of tool boxes used by operators on maintenance lines
  • Combat FOD* risk and safeguard maintenance (*Foreign Object Debris or Foreign Object Damage) 
  • Optimize costs
  • Reduce tool search time

Solutions (project begun in 2019)

Provide a self-inventorying security and traceability system in stores and in close proximity to maintenance areas:

  • Installation of XP RFID* Portals (NEXPORT®) to track loans and returns automatically for each transaction, at any time (*Radio Frequency identification)
  • Commissioning of smart XL RFID Cabinets to provide real-time equipment inventory, at any time
  • Deployment of RFID-tagged toolboxes for 10,000 operators.
  • Our connected solutions are accessible 24/7 and cover multiple shifts

Advantages

  • FOD risks minimized through traceability
  • Compliance with traceability standards
  • Improved productivity and monitoring
  • 100% standards met
  • +20% productivity gained*
    • Management of breakage and loss with a tool box quarantine system
    • Monitoring and anticipation of tool calibration
  • Generation of maintenance-related data directly from NEXCAP® IOT (dashboard, extractions)
