PDF417 Barcode and its Application in Aviation Spare Parts Management

Abstract

The necessity of PDF417 barcode technology in application of aviation spare parts management is described. And through the careful requirement analysis and discussion the feasibility of automatic identification system for aviation spare parts management information barcode is also discussed. In addition, the development and design ideas of the production system and application system on PDF417 barcode are introduced. It can be included from the research that, the technology can effectively overcome the drawbacks such as error easiness, low efficiency that the manual input bring on in supply and management for aviation spare parts, and can realize the automatic identification, input and monitoring for aviation spare parts information.

Internet of Things in Asset Management

“…Monitoring the spare part consumption of at the level of asset fleets, viewing the spare part history of certain machine or equipment and helping to select right spare parts were mentioned as the examples. In literature, Gan et al (2013) have also mentioned the potential of barcodes in the management of spare parts. However, the literature related to spare parts seems to be quite limited and perhaps not all the potential related to utilization of IoT technologies in the spare part management has been utilized.…”
