Aerospace RTLS Asset Tracking
Aerospace operations suffer when teams can’t find parts, tools, or work orders. When this happens, delays and compliance risks pile up fast. WISER solves that with real-time visibility.
We build aerospace RTLS asset tracking systems that deliver sub-meter accuracy without signal gaps. Our asset tracking solution runs in high-interference, metal-heavy environments with zero tolerance for location errors, crucial in aerospace applications. With us, aerospace teams are faster and stay audit-ready.
Meet the RTLS Solution Designed for ITAR-Regulated Aerospace Operations
Our aerospace RTLS asset tracking system uses ultra-wideband (UWB) to locate work-in-progress, tooling, and subassemblies in real time. Each item gets a tag that transmits its location to a live facility map.
The system updates continuously, without relying on line-of-sight or manual scans. It integrates with existing software through API or database connections.
WISER’s RTLS solution is built to operate in ITAR-regulated environments, helping aerospace manufacturers meet FAA/EASA and AS9100 requirements for full part and tool traceability, while supporting clients’ ITAR compliance needs.
Industry Challenges We Solve
Aerospace manufacturers and MRO facilities face unique tracking challenges that legacy systems can’t handle:
- Regulatory Compliance & Audit Trails – FAA/EASA and AS9100 standards demand complete part and tool histories. Missing location data can delay certifications and trigger audit issues.
- Rework Loops & Custom Builds – Non-linear workflows and unique subassemblies make WIP visibility critical.
- High-Value Assets – Losing a turbine blade or custom fastener can cost thousands and stall schedules.
- FOD & Safety Risks – Misplaced tools can compromise safety and trigger audit findings.
- Labor Waste – Skilled technicians spend hours daily searching for assets instead of working.
Why WISER Aerospace UWB Asset Tracking Outperforms Legacy Systems
Legacy systems miss assets, and when assets are missed, workflows are stalled and blind spots are created. WISER’s aerospace UWB asset tracking system runs with sub-meter accuracy in metal-filled environments where Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and traditional RFID fail.
WISER’s solution tracks moving assets through complex processes continuously and never loses track of an asset or work order. Because of this, teams save hours daily by locating WIP instantly.

Aircraft Manufacturing RTLS Applications
Aircraft production environments are chaotic without location control. Our aircraft manufacturing RTLS tracks everything that moves, from subassemblies to test rigs.
Key aerospace use cases include:
- Work-in-progress part tracking across assembly lines
- Tool and gauge location for calibration compliance
- Wire harness movement through build and test
- Real-time location of aircraft subassemblies
- Asset visibility across multi-hangar facilities
These applications help manufacturers control flow, reduce downtime, and stay audit-ready at every stage.
Aircraft Manufacturing RTLS FAQs
How accurate is your aerospace RTLS asset tracking system?
Our UWB tracking delivers sub-meter accuracy, even in metal-heavy aerospace environments like hangars or engine rooms.
Will this interfere with aircraft systems or Wi-Fi?
No. The UWB signal is low-power, FCC-certified, and safe for aerospace. It doesn’t interfere with avionics, Wi-Fi, or other networks.
How long do the tags last?
Each tag lasts 3-5 years on a single battery. They’re easy to attach, reassign, and maintain for aerospace manufacturing RTLS needs.
Can this RTLS integrate with our ERP or MES?
Yes, we offer a full API and database links to connect RTLS data with your aerospace systems, including SAP and custom MES platforms.
Can the system be deployed on-premises for security-sensitive projects?
Yes. WISER supports fully on-premise deployments where all data stays within your secure network. Ideal for aerospace and defense programs with strict IT security or export-control requirements.
How many assets can the system track at once?
Our RTLS can handle tens of thousands of tags in a single deployment, covering large factories, multiple hangars, or sprawling MRO facilities without performance loss.
Is the system suitable for outdoor areas like storage yards?
Yes. The same network can provide seamless indoor and outdoor coverage, so assets remain visible when moved between buildings or stored outside.
