Aerospace and Military Industry-Intelligent Traceability Management of High Value Tools

Client：A supplier of aerospace composite parts

Industry：Aerospace / Military

Challenge：

The special tool used in the composite material laying and processing is very expensive, and it is directly related to the precision and safety of the product.

The entire process of tool requisition, calibration, and scrapping relies on paper documentation, making traceability difficult and failing to meet the stringent requirements of aviation quality systems like AS9100.

There is a risk of tools being misused, stolen, or not calibrated for a long time, which poses significant hazards to product quality and production safety.

Sunntol's solution:

The implementation of Sunntol STL Station Tool Management System and Intelligent Scraper Management Cabinet.

Assign a unique ID to each key tool and link it to the user's ID card.

The system implements permission-based management, preventing unauthorized personnel from accessing specific tools. It also automatically records who accessed what tools, when, and how.

The system integration calibration plan automatically locks tools that are about to expire or have already expired, and sends alerts to administrators.

Results and Impacts:

Achieved 100% full lifecycle traceability for high-value tools, and easily passed customer and system audits.

Administrative tasks related to tool management were reduced by 75%, achieving paperless and precise management.

It can completely eliminate the risk of misusing, stealing and using the tool beyond the time limit, and provide a solid guarantee for the production safety and product quality.

Customer Testimony:

"In aerospace, even the slightest oversight can lead to catastrophic consequences. Sunntol's tool management system provides us with critical control and data validation, forming the cornerstone of our customer commitment." — Quality Manager
