(It's not just a cost-savings issue - tools left on an airplane where they don't belong are a huge safety hazards for the industry.) The airline needed a way to keep track of every tool issued for work on a particular aircraft. In fact, an airplane couldn't be released back into service until every tool was accounted for. **The Solution** This airline's solutions included multiple industiral vending machines. The solution included multiple RoboCrib 2000 carousel systems, RoboCrib 1000s and extensive custom locker arrays to issue and return tools and gauges for a specific job/airplane. A real-time interface with SAP identifies the particular aircraft, and will not release the aircraft until all tools have been returned to the AutoCrib system. The airline has decided to add AutoCrib AutoLockers with calibration control to all of their maintenance departments, as well as an Intelliport RFID portal for controlling large high- value test equipment for the aircraft.   **The Results** - Foreign Objects and Debris (FOD) has been virtually eliminated. - Tool and inventory usage reduced by 30-40%. - Shrinkage has been alleviated, especially during off-hours shifts. - No longer using replacement or non-certified tooling on maintenance work. - Purchasing efficiency has increased with the automated reorder reports from the AutoCrib system. - Written records track tooling used for different jobs as an audit trail for the CAA/FAA.   ### Eliminated FOD, reduced tool and inventory usage by 30-40% ## Related Posts ### [Apr 20, 2022 12:12:40 PM Defence Contractor Uses Industrial Vending To Track Gauge & Tool Usage](https://www.frasar.co.uk/blog/defence-contractor-uses-industrial-vending-to-track-gauge-tool-usage) ### [Apr 19, 2022 12:14:07 PM Industrial Vending Machines Help With PPE Consumption](https://www.frasar.co.uk/blog/industrial-vending-machines-help-with-ppe-consumption) ### [Apr 20, 2022 11:14:06 AM Manufacturer Utilises Smart Stores To Increase Productivity](https://www.frasar.co.uk/blog/blog-post-title) ![Frasar - Logo White](https://www.frasar.co.uk/hubfs/Branding/Frasar%20-%20Logo%20White.png) Acorn Business Centre, Balme Road, Cleckheaton, Bradford, BD19 4EZ (+44) 113 285 3737 Autocrib@frasar.co.uk - Quick Links - [Home](https://www.frasar.co.uk) - [Frasar Advantage](https://www.frasar.co.uk/frasar-advantage) - [Case Studies](https://www.frasar.co.uk/blog) - [Contact us](https://www.frasar.co.uk/contact-us) - [Products](https://www.frasar.co.uk/products) - [RoboCrib TX750](https://www.frasar.co.uk/robocrib-tx750) - [RoboCrib LX and VX Range](https://www.frasar.co.uk/robocrib-lx-and-vx-range) - [IntelliPort Lite](https://www.frasar.co.uk/intelliport-lite) - [Automated Asset Locker Solutions](https://www.frasar.co.uk/automated-asset-locker-solutions) - [AutoCrib VLM](https://www.frasar.co.uk/autocrib-vlm) - [AutoCrib RDS](https://www.frasar.co.uk/autocrib-rds) - [Tablet ToolRoom](https://www.frasar.co.uk/tablet-toolroom) © 2026 All rights reserved.
