During aircraft engine maintenance, tools can occasionally go missing in the work area before a job is fully closed out.
This BLE tracking system is fully integrated into the existing Tool Control Management (TCM) app — utilizing the same database, tool records, and PIN-protected access to eliminate Foreign Object Debris (FOD).
Aviation maintenance requires strict tool control to prevent Foreign Object Debris (FOD) which can cause catastrophic engine failures. This project introduces a digital failsafe using BLE technology.
By outfitting high-risk tools with industrial-grade BLE beacons, technicians can use the TCM mobile app to geo-locate misplaced items within the hangar. The system bridges the gap between physical tool tracking and digital records.
"Integrating BLE tracking directly into our existing PIN-protected TCM workflow ensured zero added friction for the technicians while providing a critical safety net against FOD."
Implementation Lead
Fully integrated into the existing TCM app — same database, same tool records, same PIN-protected access. Missing tools are now visualized on a localized digital map, drastically cutting down search time.
