About PinPoint:
Accurate tool control reduces the risk of FOD. Every year, thousands of tools are misplaced or left in aircraft during assembly and maintenance activities. Each one represents a critical threat to safety.
Accurate tool control also improves efficiency of operations, but until now robust tool control procedures are manual and time consuming, with check-out, check-in, inventory and lost tool sweeps wasting tens of thousands of hours every year that would be better spent building , maintaining and productive activities.
Under development for more than five years, it has been put to the test and proven to decrease FOD risk and improve efficiencies in the kind of rigorous aerospace industry operations you manage every day.
Designed by aerospace experts for aerospace experts, the PinPoint tool control system brings together key technologies to provide the most complete, comprehensive and automated electronic tool control system available
