Japanese information and communication technology firm Fujitsu has expanded its automated identification technology (AIT) solution for aircraft parts suppliers worldwide.
The solution offers enhanced management of individual parts and accurate traceability of RFID and other AIT tags throughout each aircraft part’s lifecycle, in addition to a faster delivery cycle and reduced stock shortages, according to Fujitsu.

Fujitsu solution includes AIT tags, readers/writers, middleware, and applications, and complies with the aviation industry’s environmental resistance standards, as well as with ATA Spec 2000 Chapter 9-5, a standard data format in the aviation industry.
By affixing AIT tags to aeroplane parts during the manufacturing process, the suppliers can record and store part information such as manufacture date, configuration and maintenance logs, using the standards-compliant format demanded by the industry.
This helps in accurately tracing a part’s lifecycle from manufacture to maintenance.
In addition, the solution can collect the information in the cloud, allowing the information stored in AIT tags to be integrated and analysed with information the customer has on parts and deliveries, contributing to inventory deployment and an efficient global supply chain.
