Wireless tracking of tools, aircraft parts and personnel will be deployed to support lean operations in start-up maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility.
ISTANBUL, Turkey, January 22, 2008 myTECHNIC, the region's newest player in MRO services has selected AeroScout, Inc., AeroScout, Inc., a leading provider of Unified Asset Visibility solutions, and Tematik, a leading auto-ID vendor in Turkey, to provide a real-time visibility system to it's brand new facility, located on the Asian side of Istanbul at Sahiba Gokcen International Airport.
myTECHNIC's management continues its innovative approach to providing customer-centric services. myTECHNIC is building a new kind of MRO operation, based from the ground up on lean principals; from the design and layout of the facility, within the organizational structure and throughout its operations, said Ozer Ergul, Supply Chain Director at myTECHNIC. AeroScout's Wi-Fi-based real-time location solution (RTLS) gives us an easy-to-use, powerful tool for driving the data and events we need for Lean operations.
The AeroScout solution uses small Wi-Fi-based Active RFID tags to wirelessly track the movement of customers, parts, tools and employees as the circulate throughout the facility. The AeroScout Mobile View visibility software will provide myTECHNIC's staff with a real-time view of the location and status of parts, tools and personnel. In addition, AeroScout Mobile View can automatically trigger alerts based on movement, dwell time, exit from an assigned zone, or other criteria. This automates processes and eliminates wasted labor searching for parts, reduces risk of loss or human error and ensures operations run smoothly and on time. The RTLS system uses both AeroScout's Location Receivers in the main hangar area, as well as Cisco wireless access points and AeroScout Exciters for location and choke-point visibility in the office and sub-hanger operations areas.
The same way that Boeing benefits from our solutions for aircraft assembly operations in the US, the aircraft MRO industry can benefit tremendously from the real-time visibility that AeroScout's Wi-Fi-based asset racking solution provides. said Andris Berzins, Managing Director, EMEA, AeroScout. This deployment demonstrates all of the flexibility that our solution provides: RTLS in a huge hangar, choke-point visibility based on our Exciters, as well as RSSI-based location determination via our strong integration with the Cisco WLAN product portfolio. We look forward to helping myTECHNIC provide a differentiated service to its clients and to being a key part of this innovative MRO operations model.
