Zero-downtime inventory for aerospace and airport operations
Aircraft on ground, gate equipment failures, and airside maintenance delays cost the industry millions every day. Thinventory puts the right parts at the right location, pre-positioned and ready, before the fault occurs.
Aerospace field service runs on availability, not just speed
Airlines, MRO providers, airport operators, and ground handlers face a common problem: spare parts and consumables are either over-stocked in expensive central stores or missing when critical equipment fails.
Aircraft on ground (AOG)
Every hour of unplanned downtime costs tens of thousands. Parts must reach engineers before schedules break.
Airside access constraints
Tight security perimeters mean traditional courier delivery models don’t work once you’re past the landside boundary.
Excess and obsolete stock
High-value parts held across multiple sites with no visibility create waste, write-offs, and audit failures.
Dispersed engineering teams
Technicians working across terminals, hangars, and stands lose time chasing parts rather than fixing equipment.
Very few businesses promise and deliver consistently, but from our experience I can confirm that Thinventory does just that. — Chief Technical Officer, W&H
Parts where your engineers are, not where your warehouse is
Thinventory combines smart locker technology, AI-driven network design, and a proven in-night delivery network to make sure your engineers have what they need, whether that’s a part pre-positioned close to site, or one delivered before they start their first job.
Pathfinder
Software
Every hour of unplanned downtime costs tens of thousands. Parts must reach engineers before schedules break.
Smart lockers
Hardware
Secure, keyless, 24/7 access inside hangars, terminals, or maintenance bays. Engineers collect parts pre-8am — before their first job.
Auto-replenishment
Tracking
When stock drops below threshold, replenishment is triggered automatically. Engineers arrive to a full locker, no checking levels, no placing orders, no gaps.
PUDO+
Tracking
For parts too large for lockers. Pick-up and drop-off points handle oversized items with full track-and-trace visibility.
Konnect
Technology
Deploy Thinventory’s technology anywhere in the world. Runs online or offline, ideal for remote apron and hangar environments.
Van Stock
Visibility
Track inventory across mobile and static field locations vehicles, stores, and tooling cages from a single platform.
Where Thinventory fits in aerospace and airports
MRO line maintenance
Pre-position rotables, consumables, and tooling at gate-adjacent lockers. Engineers arrive ready, no trips back to the store.
Airport facilities management
Baggage systems, escalators, air bridges, and HVAC all need reactive maintenance. Smart lockers inside the terminal boundary deliver parts exactly where your engineers are.
Ground support equipment (GSE)
Pushbacks, belt loaders, and ground power units fail at the worst times. Thinventory keeps critical spares distributed across the apron for rapid response.
Security and safety-critical parts
RFID tracking and full audit trails give quality managers and regulators complete chain-of-custody visibility on every part movement.
Multi-site airline operations
Operating across multiple airports or countries? Konnect extends Thinventory’s platform globally, consistent visibility, consistent access, wherever your engineers are based.
