As part of the track and trace theme of the Aero-ID programme, a series of case studies are being undertaken to establish the role of identification technologies can play in improving tracking and tracing. This report presents some initial results from two case studies focused on track and trace operations, which took place at a distribution centre for commercial aircraft parts and a military aircraft spare parts supply chain. The aims of the case studies were to analyze companies’ main operations and to identify potential areas of operational improvement. The report explores issues regarding both logistics operations and repairable parts management. Through the study, we identify the needs for improved tracking and tracing information quality; we propose how automatic identification technologies can improve information quality and in turn optimize operational efficiency.\r\n\r\n
After a trademark dispute, the EPC Prototyping Platform is now called "Fosstrak" (previously Accada). Fosstrak stands for "free and open source software for track and trace".
