Regulatory Requirements: FAA and EASA Traceability Requirements
Aerospace suppliers face stringent requirements from FAA CFR 14 Part 21 and EASA Part 21G that require:
- Full component history: Tracking from raw materials to end-of-life disposal.
- Real-time maintenance logs: Records of repairs, replacements, and inspections.
- Anti pemalsuan: Verifying certified parts in engines, landing gear, and avionics.
Non-compliance can result in fleet groundings, fines of up to €500,000 per incident, and reputational damage. A 2023 European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) audit found that 35% of suppliers lacked digital systems that met these standards, resulting in delays of 6-12 weeks in aircraft delivery.
Technology Implementation: NFC Tags Built for Extreme Conditions
NFC-enabled Digital Product Passports (DPP) solve aerospace challenges with rugged design and seamless integration:
High Temperature Resistance
- NFCWORK HY-PPS Ф30: With an operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, it withstands the heat of jet engines and cryogenic fuel storage.
- IP68/69K Rated: Resists hydraulic fluids, de-icing chemicals, and high-pressure washing.
Maintenance Data Automation
- In-flight Sensors: Capture real-time stress data (e.g. turbine blade vibration) via IoT-linked Tag NFC.
- Blockchain Anchoring: Store encrypted maintenance records on Hyperledger Fabric for FAA/EASA audits.
- AR Integration: Technicians scan tags with Microsoft HoloLens to overlay 3D repair guides.
Anti-Counterfeiting Features
- AES-256 Encryption: Prevents critical components such as turbine disks from being cloned.
- Unique TID code: Authenticity verified via Airbus’ Skywise or Boeing’s AnalytX platforms.
Kajian kes: Engine Supplier Reduces Inspection Time by 50%
Cabaran: Manual logbooks caused over 200 hours of delays in FAA-mandated CFM56 engine inspections.
Penyelesaian:
- Embedding NFCWORK NTAG 424 tags on over 10,000 engine components.
- Integrating NFC data with IBM Maximo for predictive maintenance analytics.
Hasilnya:
- Inspections were performed 50% faster (200 → 100 hours per engine).
- No counterfeit parts were found in 2023-2024 audits.
- 2.1 million euros saved in labor and downtime costs per year.
