The Challenge

A government subcontractor is tasked with inspecting and servicing radio components of military aircraft. As the radios are removed, a clear chain of custody log must be maintained. The paper log is insecure, inaccurate and inaccessible. It can be damaged, lost, and entries forged. The log needs replaced with a secure and accurate system.

The record keeping goals were:

To identify which unique aircraft are outfitted with which unique radios.
To monitor the chain of custody of each unique radio as they move through the inspection and service process.
To identify which radios have been inspected and which require inspection and possible service.
To accurately report activity to the prime contractor and provide command with an interface to export real-time reports.

Sparrow's Solution

Each aircraft is assigned a unique secure Sparrow QR Code marker and that marker is placed inside the crew compartment of each aircraft.
Each radio is assigned a unique secure Sparrow QR Code marker and that marker is affixed to each radio at the time the radio is first inspected.
When workers remove a radio, they first scan the aircraft’s Sparrow QR Code marker and then the radio’s marker.
As the custody of the radio changes, the worker receiving the radio scans the radio’s Sparrow QR Code marker.

ROI & Benefits

By scanning the aircraft’s marker and the radio’s marker at the time the radio is removed and reinstalled, an accurate inventory of which unique radios are installed in which unique aircraft is established.
Each worker interacting with the radios scans the radios’ marker when they take custody of the radio thereby establishing an accurate chain of custody log.
Secure reports allow management and command to identify which radios need inspected and the overall progress of the subcontractor performing the inspections.
