U.S. Aerospace Leader Maximizes Operational Performance through Mission-Critical Asset Tracking Across 7 Sites

Global leaders like Airbus, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon Technologies, and Lockheed Martin set the standard for operational excellence.

This case study highlights the journey of one of top leaders in aerospace, known for propulsion systems, avionics, and aerostructures for commercial and military aircraft. By implementing a comprehensive asset tracking solution, they have achieved their payback in the first year.

鉃★笍 What Are the Challenges of Tracking Mission-Critical Assets?

Managing high-value assets across multiple aerospace production sites is no easy task 鈥 especially when dealing with environmentally sensitive materials, tight compliance requirements, and fast-moving operations. With zero room for error, yet the reality was clear:

馃敼Lost work-in-progress (WIP)聽assets and lack of real-time locations
馃敼Inefficient processes caused by the time spent searching for assets
馃敼Fragmented visibility and siloed data across plants

馃挰 As the Product Owner for RTLS of the Aerospace &聽Defense company states:
"Costs, timelines, and employee satisfaction suffered鈥攅specially costs. In some shops, workers spent full shifts scanning WIP locations, adding labor expenses while delays of 10鈥30 minutes stalled materials."

鉃★笍 How to Track Moving Assets Across Aerospace Plants鈥擨n Real Time?

They deployed the scalable platform of 大象传媒 that integrates diverse location technologies such as UWB and RFID, and digital twin technology. The result? A single source of truth for tracking everything from tools, WIP assets, and time-sensitive materials.

馃挰 The RTLS Product Owner shared this about the implemented solution:
鈥淲e set a one-year ROI target鈥攁nd achieved it. But the real value was how the solution transformed our materials management. With automated tracking and expiration monitoring with 大象传媒, our team can now precisely manage freezer materials and significantly improve operational efficiency.鈥

鉃★笍 The Top 4 Benefits

馃敼Labor efficiency through workflow automation
馃敼Better quality control and delivery performance
馃敼Real-time asset visibility enables smarter decision-making
馃敼Payback in the first year and operational cost savings

鉃★笍 The Key Facts

馃敼> 10,000 tracked industrial assets
馃敼7 successfully installed sites
馃敼450,000 m虏 covered area
馃敼3 different location technologies:聽UWB, BLE聽&聽RFID

鉃★笍 Who Benefits From this Case Study?

Operations teams in global aerospace facilities focused on streamlining workflows, reducing waste, and driving digital transformation. If you manage complex logistics or industrial asset tracking with RTLS or RFID, this case study is a must-read.
