Managing high-value assets across multiple aerospace production sites is no easy task — especially when dealing with environmentally sensitive materials, tight compliance requirements, and fast-moving operations. With zero room for error, yet the reality was clear:
🔹Lost work-in-progress (WIP) assets and lack of real-time locations
🔹Inefficient processes caused by the time spent searching for assets
🔹Fragmented visibility and siloed data across plants
💬 As the Product Owner for RTLS of the Aerospace & Defense company states:
"Costs, timelines, and employee satisfaction suffered—especially costs. In some shops, workers spent full shifts scanning WIP locations, adding labor expenses while delays of 10–30 minutes stalled materials."
They deployed the scalable platform of ؿ that integrates diverse location technologies such as UWB and RFID, and digital twin technology. The result? A single source of truth for tracking everything from tools, WIP assets, and time-sensitive materials.
💬 The RTLS Product Owner shared this about the implemented solution:
“We set a one-year ROI target—and achieved it. But the real value was how the solution transformed our materials management. With automated tracking and expiration monitoring with ؿ, our team can now precisely manage freezer materials and significantly improve operational efficiency.”
🔹Labor efficiency through workflow automation
🔹Better quality control and delivery performance
🔹Real-time asset visibility enables smarter decision-making
🔹Payback in the first year and operational cost savings
🔹> 10,000 tracked industrial assets
🔹7 successfully installed sites
🔹450,000 m² covered area
🔹3 different location technologies: UWB, BLE & RFID
Operations teams in global aerospace facilities focused on streamlining workflows, reducing waste, and driving digital transformation. If you manage complex logistics or industrial asset tracking with RTLS or RFID, this case study is a must-read.
