FOD incidents cut 71% with AS9100 tool-for-tool control.
A global airline MRO division needed tool-for-tool accountability and FOD prevention across four line stations and the apron.
The challenge
What they were up against.
FOD risk on line and apron
Foreign-object-debris risk threatened safety and incurred costly inspections.
Manual tool accountability
Tool control was manual, slow, and hard to audit to AS9100.
GSE went missing
Ground support equipment was lost and under-utilised across the apron.
Our approach
Vendor-neutral, outcome-led.
We delivered AS9100 tool-lifecycle control with UWB on the line during heavy maintenance, plus GPS and RFID for GSE on the apron, integrated to SAP S/4HANA.
