Tooling and hangar flow visibility that protects turnaround.

An aerospace MRO operator lacked visibility of calibrated tooling, aircraft parts, towable assets and mobile equipment across large hangars and apron zones — where search delays drive AOG risk.

The challenge

What they were up against.

Tool & part search delays

Calibrated tooling and parts were hard to find across large hangars.

Apron asset blind spots

Towable and mobile equipment went untracked airside.

AOG risk

Search time directly threatened aircraft turnaround.

Our approach

Vendor-neutral, outcome-led.

A hybrid indoor-outdoor stack — RFID for serialized part and tool traceability, BLE RTLS for indoor hangar visibility, GPS for apron, yard and airside fleet, and utilisation analytics for dwell and idle-asset insight.

How we solved it

What we delivered.

  • RFID serialized part & tool traceability
  • BLE RTLS indoor hangar visibility
  • GPS apron, yard and airside fleet tracking
  • Utilisation analytics — dwell & idle-asset insights
