Case Study: Electronic Tool Control at the Christchurch Engine Center

Our customer, a large Aviation MRO facility in Christchurch, New Zealand, was looking at the available options for Electronic Tool Control (ETC). They introduced the henchmanTRAK system into their Test Cell in 2018. After weighing up the pros and cons of all the tested systems, they came to the decision to elect Henchman to be the supplier of their new ETC.

The customers decision
One of the main reasons was the ability to customize the rollcab to meet the customers specifications and specialized tools without compromising their needs. In addition, the tracking system fulfilled all their expectations. The Henchman team worked with the customer and offered suggestions on tool selection and layout and, prior to cutting and assembly, gave them detailed designs of each drawer.

To have an electronic system that removes human error from tool accountability, that is easy to use, has proven itself to track and trace with accuracy in a multi person/shift operation has been a great step forward to ensure airworthiness and product integrity.

The benefits of Electronic Tool Control

• Safe: Check if complete (Part 145/FOD)
• Transparent: Tools missing, service/replacement needed – on screen / in app
