Applying RFID to Aerospace, Engine, Turbine & Transmission Equipment Manufacturing

Exploring RFID in the Aerospace, Engine, Turbine & Transmission Equipment Manufacturing Industry

Our clients have asked us how GAO can help streamline their operations. Whether you’re manufacturing propulsion units or designing guided missiles, our team can endeavor to meet your needs with our powerful RFID solutions.

Question: We’d like to integrate RFID into our business, but our manufacturing operation is a complex one. Do you have a comprehensive system that would address multiple issues, like workflow and document management? 

We can build  a system using our RFID experience. We’ve designed systems for other industries to tackle a host of problems, allowing managers to pay attention to the important things. We can develop RFID Tags that are assigned to each part on the assembly line and does the following:

• Logs data as goods pass through each production stage
• Alerts management to workflow anomalies and productivity glitches
• Manages a series of important information such as product info, employee details and resource usage 24/7
• Allows companies to reduce paperwork by compiling above data into digital reports

Question: Our aerospace firm employs hundreds of workers within the manufacturing plant alone. What’s the best way to keep track of our human capital? 

Using the fundamentals of RFID technology, you can monitor your employees’ whereabouts and keep them safe. We utilize innovative RFID Tag and Reader configurations that not only track your workers—but also log their productivity rates. Each of your employees are assigned an RFID Badge that contains their unique information. RFID Readers are then placed at strategic points within the workplace. These RFID Readers will then transmit data as employees pass by wearing their RFID Badges. Our experience in customizing RFID solution for people tracking can help you do the following:

• Know where your employees are at all times
• Improve visibility in remote areas, increasing overall workplace safety
• Provide special employee access to sensitive zones while maintaining control of who gets in and who stays out
• Log how much time each employee spends at particular work stations, allowing you to reallocate your human capital accordingly

Question: Our company is a leader in aerospace innovation, which means there is a lot of sensitive data at our offices. Can we use GAO RFID’s Systems to eliminate possible trespassing? 

Absolutely. We can apply our experience and knowledge in your company which enables you to control access using specialized RFID technology. Avoid theft, trespassing and vandalism by using RFID technology. Access into your facility is only granted to those who carry an authentic RFID Badge that has the access rights for that zone. This system comes with our powerful managing software, allowing you to monitor all areas of your building 24/7. This software logs all entry/exit activity and alerts security of possible breaches. Our ability to control access also allows you to monitor the facility from a remote location at all hours of the day, and can be configured to send you alerts if there are any unusual access attempts.

Integrating with your Existing Management Software

Once developed, our RFID system can be deployed as a standalone solution or can be integrated with other software solutions, according to your needs. At the core of our solution is GAO RFID’s AUTO-ID Engine which incorporates middleware and essential RFID functions that perform RFID data collection and information processing. Our AUTO-ID Engine seamlessly integrates with a wide variety of manufacturing management systems so that you can access the data it collects directly via the system or systems you currently have in place. Our team comprises of seasoned professionals that can combine our RFID experience with your industry experience and provide a customized solution that will smoothly integrate the appropriate GAO RFID Solution with your IT architecture. The result is an RFID solution that is seamlessly unified with your manufacturing management system. We can work with you to integrate the RFID tracking data collected from our custom solution with today’s leading information management systems in your industry.
