Mission-Critical Tool Kits
Tool Control & FOD Prevention Systems
Systems that make missing tools visible instantly and keep foreign objects off aircraft, engines and runways.
Overview
Every tool accounted for, every shift
Foreign object debris (FOD) includes tools, hardware and materials left where they can damage aircraft or equipment. SKYbrary, the aviation safety knowledge base, cites estimates that FOD costs the aerospace industry about US$4 billion a year. Good tool control is one of the simplest ways to prevent it.
We supply tool control solutions that make it obvious when a tool is missing: shadow-foam layouts, engraved tool and kit IDs, controlled cabinets and trolleys, and check-out procedures, together with the equipment used for airside FOD walks and sweeping.
