In the process of aircraft assembly, it is necessary to use a large number of tools. The data shows that there are nearly 40000 kinds of tools in the assembly plants of some large aircraft manufacturers, 12000 commonly used tools and 25000 non commonly used tools. In these data, tool loss and tool timeout are normal phenomena, which brings great challenges to the tool management of enterprises. The biggest mistake of tool loss is that workers will leave tools inside the aircraft, and the consequences of such mistakes are often unimaginable. Therefore, it will be the primary task to realize the digitization and intellectualization of aerospace operation tool management, and RFID technology is the primary choice in intelligent tool management. RFID technology is a leading automatic identification technology in the world. Its principle is non-contact data communication between reader and tag to achieve the purpose of target identification. The identification work needs no human intervention, and can work in a variety of harsh environments. Compared with barcode, RFID technology can achieve the effect of intelligent tool management.

Specific operation details:

Information entry: first, the RFID electronic tag is pasted on the surface of each tool, and the identification information such as the type and number of the corresponding tool is stored in the tag.

Intelligent warehouse management: RFID fixed reader is used to realize the batch automatic warehouse in and out management of tools. The reader is fixed in the tool access channel. When the tool with RFID tag passes through the corresponding area, the reader reads the electronic tag information of the corresponding tool, uploads the data to the background database, and then compares and records the inventory information of the database, So as to realize the management of tools and equipment.

Intelligent inventory: the RFID handset is mainly used for the inventory of the equipment in the whole tool room or tool cabinet to realize the regular inventory of various tools.

RFID special tools intelligent cabinet: it is specially used for the management of special tools and equipment. When the maintenance personnel open the door of the tool cabinet, they need to identify the corresponding tools by fingerprint / employee card, and give the corresponding voice information prompt. The RFID special tool cabinet synchronizes the corresponding operation information to the tool information management center, so as to realize the tool management and maintenance of the tool cabinet.
