Tool tracking using modern technologies like BLE
Description
- One of the problems faced by flying unit is error-free toll accounting. In spite of various SOPs in places, the incidents related to missing tools still occur regularly. An RFID based system was introduced in the IAF but it is employed mostly for tool accounting, rather than tracking.
- It is suggested to develop a system which involves usage of technologies like BLE or any other radio technology to accurately track the tools in the working areas like hangars, tarmac etc. without interfering with air operations. The beacon should have form factor to be fitted even on the smallest tool available. The system should be able to continuously monitor the location of each tool and display the same. It should also have facility to raise alarm if a tracked tool leaves the designated electronically fenced premises.
