The IoT tracking technology from Sensolus (IoT = Internet of Things) has been integrated by Airbus to create a digital twin of the assets responsible for the transport of critical aircraft components through the production flow. Not least, the Sensolus specialists would know the needs of the aircraft manufacturer exactly. The application of IoT know-how has also already led to valuable advantages. Through the active trackers on the industrial assets, Airbus enjoys complete transparency of the various workflows, which works both on the company premises and beyond. As Sensolus explains, they handle the tracking of the devices used for the transport of aircraft components during production. So-called blind spots are eliminated, delays are proactively prevented and the risk of incidents is finally reduced, as it continues. The Sensolus systems are also used across various locations—including France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Smart indoor localization of tools

The Sensolus IoT tracking technology makes it possible to digitalize non-powered assets, containers and transport devices, among other things—and there is high demand for this in many industries according to the manufacturer. This is particularly true when, as in the automotive or aerospace industry, the production and supply chains are distributed across various locations. The companies concerned are looked after directly from the Sensolus company headquarters in Munich with close proximity to the customer. Airbus is now also introducing the latest BLE technology (Bluetooth Low Energy) to track special tools in various warehouses. According to the provider, this novelty is a reliable option with high location accuracy indoors. It allows Airbus to improve inventory management, theft protection, and asset localization and to increase overall productivity. This is already saving a lot of time. If an urgently needed tool is not immediately found, it can now be found within minutes.

Never lose data about deliveries again

This increase in efficiency not only saves valuable time according to Sensolus, but also contributes to a seamless operation within the Airbus manufacturing system. Sensolus also offers Airbus the appropriate support to ensure the seamless operation and optimization of the IoT systems. With an uninterrupted data flow from almost 100 percent of asset trips through Europe, the United Kingdom and other countries, Sensolus ensures with its patented data recovery algorithm that critical data is never lost.
