Industry

Aerospace Manufacturing

RTLS Technology

Ultra-Wideband (UWB)

Challenges

The client faced significant challenges in maintaining transparency and efficiency in their production orders, particularly with time-sensitive parts. Lack of real-time tracking capabilities led to delays and inefficiencies in production processes, impacting operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. There was a pressing need to enhance transparency and provide customers with live updates on their production orders, akin to parcel delivery tracking systems.

Solutions

In collaboration with our client, we implemented the Real-Time Location System (RTLS) at their Varel site. This involved strategically placing UWB anchors throughout the production facility to enable precise tracking of connecting elements in real-time. The solution not only provided accurate location data but also laid the foundation for future scalability by planning to expand the system to other locations. Additionally, efforts were made to integrate all tracking data onto a centralized platform for streamlined management and accessibility.

Results

Through the implementation of RTLS, our client achieved remarkable results:

Enhanced Operational Transparency: Real-time traceability of production parts significantly enhanced operational transparency, allowing for better monitoring and control over production processes.
Improved Efficiency: The implementation of real-time tracking and tracing led to improved efficiency across production operations, minimizing delays and bottlenecks in the manufacturing process.
Customer Satisfaction: By providing live production status updates to customers, our client was able to enhance their customer service experience, fostering greater trust and satisfaction among their clientele.
Future Scalability: The planned expansion of the solution to other locations and integration onto a centralized platform laid the groundwork for future scalability and continuous improvement in production processes.

The successful implementation of real-time tracking and tracing technology has empowered our client to revolutionize their aerospace manufacturing operations, setting new standards for transparency, efficiency, and customer service in the industry.
