No one individual can log in and find that packet . The end user — an MRO or airline — can enter the key once they have it , and it puts the data back together for the end user . Alitheon has a great video with Roei demonstrating use of the FeaturePrint app : www . youtube . com / watch ? v = ysQXi9o-3vM – Roei Ganzarski demonstration of FeaturePrint .
Ultimately , it traces where the part has been in the life of the part — its records . All aircraft components ’ records are provided when an item is sold . “ Today that is a laborious process with thousands of documents ... tomorrow it is one file with the key and all components ,” Reed added , saying , “ It can happen in minutes instead of weeks or months .”
Integration into the suppliers ’ factories and on the lines will require the technology to be enabled by the OEMs and aftermarket , Reed said . “ It could take years for the industry to adapt this technology .” He stated that getting everything approved and adopted can be a long process , “ There are process changes , manufacturing , technology changes — but the technology itself is ready to create .” The airworthiness authorities can mandate it to be completed , enabling the product to be in manufacturing , “ There is a time frame and cost ,” Reed added .
Summary
Down the road , Tocci said , “ We hope to protect any object anywhere , at any time .” They have over 50 issued patents for the product and more patents pending . Ganzarski envisions the technology evolving so that software can decipher each part placed on a plane , that it was the correct part , in the proper location , and used according to the design . “ Using a system like ours as a trigger for physical parts means fraud and identification errors will never happen ,” he concluded .
