Optimizing inventory quality in airport spare parts warehouses
Mobile warehouse management in the aviation industry
With the mobile logistics system TUP MAS, smartphones and handhelds are finding their way into warehouse processes in the aviation industry. This enables airlines and service providers to easily optimize their processes for aircraft maintenance and repair.
The aircraft maintenance software AMOS from Swiss AviationSoftware forms the basis for the mobile mapping of all processes within the TUP.MAS application. Before the TUP software was integrated into AMOS, storage took place at stationary PC terminals. This meant that employees had to take a spare part to the storage compartment and then back to the terminal to document the putaway, a time-consuming process. For cost reasons, however, operators want to spend as little time as possible on maintenance, as aircraft are only profitable when they are in the air. With TUP MAS, employees can now record storage on mobile devices directly at the storage location.
Bookings in real time
"All bookings are registered in real time and transferred directly from TUP.MAS to the AMOS system online - even the simplest stock placements are recorded in this way. This means that there is always a real image of the physical movement of a spare part in the system," explains Dipl.-Ing. Günther Pfisterer, TUP.MAS project manager and member of the management team at TUP. The advantage of processing via mobile devices: "The warehouse staff communicate directly with the host system via mobile devices. The devices also offer easy-to-understand user guidance, industry-standard barcode technology for data capture during storage, picking and order confirmation, precise instructions for all work steps and route-optimized, time-saving picking tours. In addition, there are features such as the automatic reporting of stock shortages, the recording of new items and inventory functions," says Pfisterer, explaining the possible applications.
Process optimization as a competitive advantage
Airlines are under high cost pressure, which is one of the reasons why optimizing maintenance processes can give them a competitive advantage. Companies in the industry are also required to provide evidence of where which spare part was installed, making the traceability of the origin of spare parts extremely important for the industry.
