Case Study: Airbus achieves real-time manufacturing visibility with Sensolus IoT tracking

Airbus locates misplaced tools in minutes with Sensolus

Airbus faced a challenge in managing critical airplane components and specialized tools across its European production sites. A lack of real-time visibility created blind spots in workflows, leading to potential production delays and time-consuming searches for tools. To address this, Airbus selected Sensolus and its IoT tracking technology to gain visibility and optimize its smart supply chain operations.

Sensolus implemented a solution using battery-powered trackers on industrial assets and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology for warehouse tools. This created a digital twin of assets moving through production, providing Airbus with complete workflow visibility across borders. The results were significant, including the elimination of blind spots, the ability to locate a misplaced tool within minutes to prevent delays, and nearly 100% uninterrupted data on asset journeys across Europe.
