SmartSpace Production Logistics Monitor – Aerospace

Ubisense monitors the flow of kits and subassemblies through the plant and detects deviations from plan, creating a real-time view of status and alerts.

Operations teams can now proactively maintain JIT and JIS flow from origin to point-of-use with the aid of real-time guidance and automatic verification.
