Parker Hannifin, manufacturer to commercial aerospace OEMs and defense contractors, has chosen OATSystems and its ATA Spec 2000-compliant solution to enhance traceability and improve operational efficiency.
The company is tagging and tracking component parts to be installed in Airbus A350 XWB aircraft at the point of manufacture. “This is a time of rapid change in the aerospace industry, leading to dramatic improvements in operating efficiency, cost reduction and safety,” said Prasad Putta, general manager, OATSystems.
OATSystems provided Parker Hannifin with the complete solution – hardware, software, training and support – to generate a unique birth record for each part, and to capture the part manufacturing details and ongoing history on a high-memory RFID tag, which will be attached to the part through its useful life.
