In aerospace the cost of a lost tool is not the tool. An unaccounted bit of FOD grounds an aircraft or scraps a part; a tool past calibration taints the work it touched; controlled material without lot and cert traceability fails the AS9100 audit. **SecuraLocker** serializes every tool with issue-and-return enforcement. **SecuraScales** counts hardware to the unit. **SecuraSmart** captures lot, cert, and calibration status on every transaction. #### three audit risks every aerospace operation faces ## FOD accountability, calibration and cert traceability, and controlled-material control ### 1. FOD and tool accountability. Every tool issued must be accounted for before the aircraft or part moves. A single unreturned tool is a FOD event: a grounded aircraft, a scrapped assembly, or a stand-down to search. Manual shadow boards and clipboards do not produce a defensible record. ### 2. Calibration and certification traceability. AS9100 requires calibrated tooling on a controlled cycle and raw or controlled material traceable to lot and certification. A gauge used past cal, or a fastener with no cert link, taints every part it touched and is a major finding at the registrar audit. ### 3. Controlled and high-value material shrinkage. Titanium fasteners, sealants with shelf life, and serialized hardware are expensive and shelf-life-limited. Uncontrolled, they expire on the shelf or walk, and the variance surfaces only when a job is short at build. [![\

One dashboard. Built for the hangar and the clean line. ### SecuraLocker – serialized FOD tool control. Per-tool issue and return with the technician, work order, and tail or part number on the record. Open issues are visible in real time, so a tool is never unaccounted for when the aircraft moves. Calibration-due alerts per instrument. ### SecuraScales + Smart Bins – counted, lot-linked hardware. Weight-based bins count fasteners and small hardware to the unit and tie each draw to a lot and cert. FOD-conscious dispensing with no loose-count guesswork. ### SecuraStock vending – controlled consumables. Sealants, abrasives, gloves, and shelf-life-limited consumables dispensed with lot capture and shelf-life alerts, so expired material is pulled before it reaches a part. ### SecuraCrib – the AS9100-controlled tool crib. Convert the existing tool crib or bond store to maglock and badge entry with cameras and a full access log, attendant-free, with an audit trail the registrar will accept. learn more Download the brochure ![Industrial Vending Machine\_AddOn\_Example\_Wh\_Scales](https://securastock.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Industrial%20Vending%20Machine_AddOn_Example_Wh_Scales.png?width=720&height=423&name=Industrial%20Vending%20Machine_AddOn_Example_Wh_Scales.png "Industrial Vending Machine_AddOn_Example_Wh_Scales") ## Built for Efficiency, Accuracy, and Control #### High Capacity, Low Cost Up to 250 SKUs (2-4 X's the Capacity of Coil Machines) #### Industrial Build Quality Add smart bins to give 100% inventory accuracy. Eliminate human error and speed up time to vend!   #### Built-in Security Four motion-tracking cameras, embedded alarms, and tamper protection. #### Patented Shelves & Bins Magnetized, adjustable shelving supports up to 250 SKUs. #### Integrated Software Included Includes SecuraSmart software with real-time reporting and full inventory control. #### Money-Back Security Guarantee We back the system with a guarantee.  ## An MRO repair station with 14 hangars and 380 technicians What we deployed at an AS9100D / Part 145 station, first twelve months. A Part 145 repair station running 14 hangars and 380 technicians managed tools on shadow boards with paper issue logs, calibrated instruments on a spreadsheet, and controlled hardware on open shelving. Tool-accountability stand-downs and calibration-traceability findings were recurring, and roughly $9M in annual tooling, hardware, and consumable spend had no transactional record. The rollout: SecuraLocker banks for serialized tool control with issue-and-return per tail number, SecuraScales bins for lot-linked hardware, SecuraStock vending for shelf-life-limited consumables, and a SecuraCrib conversion of the bond store. Every transaction lands in SecuraSmart with technician, work order, lot, and calibration status. **Result after twelve months:** tool-accountability stand-downs went to zero, with every issued tool reconciled before aircraft movement. The AS9100D surveillance audit passed with no findings on tool calibration or material traceability for the first time. Controlled-material shrinkage and shelf-life write-offs fell sharply, recovering an estimated $700K. ![SS storage](https://securastock.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Stock%20Image%202-1-1-1.png?width=600&height=382&name=Stock%20Image%202-1-1-1.png) #### HOW IT WORKS ## Direct Operation from Access to Reorder **Authenticate:** Users scan badge, enter PIN, or use mobile access **Dispense/Retrieve:** The system releases or unlocks product **Log Transactions:** Everything is recorded (who, when, what) **Monitor & Reorder:** Usage data flows into your dashboard, triggering replenishment actions #### our process ## Take Control in Three Simple Steps ##### ![Group 16](https://securastock.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Group%2016.png?width=88&height=57&name=Group%2016.png) ##### Schedule a Demo See SecuraStock in action and discover which solution is right for you ### Schedule a Demo Now ##### ![Group 17](https://securastock.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Group%2017.png?width=88&height=57&name=Group%2017.png) ##### Install Your System Our team guides you through setup and training so you’re ready from day one ##### ![Group 18](https://securastock.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Group%2018.png?width=88&height=57&name=Group%2018.png) ##### **Enjoy the Improved Efficiency** Reduce downtime, cut waste, and keep your team supplied with ease [![\SCHEDULE A DEMO\](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6673938/interactive-207743340947.png)](https://securastock.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJ1nWlSK8woRoDxbw9jxYOsdHT9mQTzPAlirBWL662ITbxgIlLYL1rJ%2FC93fPbD045XN%2B9KzK6ZsVH5pRNx%2BvLGr79Q0jeNyrFu6DnkrXUpk9yUqeo8FfRIO2OSqKsp4oPz%2BdKeYQ%2FjBnCnrY3%2FXFD2gPQMCJofoiPhHe7jPhMZ0P31AIrruN7WIT08hTCXxNns2z5FQr2xXGZmc4w%3D&webInteractiveContentId=207743340947&portalId=6673938&hsLang=en) ## Frequently asked questions Six questions aerospace manufacturing and MRO leaders ask before scheduling a demo. What is the best setup for an aerospace operation?+ SecuraLocker for serialized FOD tool control, SecuraScales bins for lot-linked hardware, SecuraStock vending for shelf-life-limited consumables, and a SecuraCrib conversion of the tool crib or bond store, unified in SecuraSmart. How does this support FOD and tool accountability?+ Every tool is issued and returned against a technician and work order, with open issues visible in real time. A tool is never unaccounted for when the aircraft or assembly moves, and the record is defensible at audit. Does it meet AS9100 calibration and traceability requirements?+ Calibrated tools carry calibration-due alerts; hardware and consumables capture lot and certification at the point of draw. SecuraSmart exports the controlled-tool and material-traceability history registrars expect. Can it handle shelf-life-limited material like sealants?+ Yes. Shelf-life items are tracked with expiration alerts so material is pulled and replaced before it reaches a part, which removes both the compliance risk and the write-off. Is the tool crib conversion compatible with a controlled bond store?+ The SecuraCrib conversion adds maglock, badge entry, cameras, and a full access log to the room you already use, so it becomes an attendant-free controlled store without new construction. How long is a typical rollout?+ A single station is usually 10 to 16 weeks, phased: serialized tool control first, then hardware bins and consumable vending, then the bond-store conversion, staged so no shift loses tool access. ## Other industries we serve SecuraStock serves aerospace-adjacent and parallel-compliance verticals - each with its own audit and operational pattern.
