Method for the management of aeronautical industry implements to be checked
First Claim
1. A method for management of aeronautical industry implements which have to be sent to special workshops for checking, maintenance, calibration, certification and repair, comprising the steps of:
- providing the implements with an individual, machine readable identification characteristic;
storing the implement status data and the identification characteristic in a central data bank;
permitting a remote access to the data bank while excluding paper or electronic accompanying documents containing information concerning the implements by sending of the implements; and
making the individual identification characteristic available by a radio frequency transponder, the identification characteristic of an implement serving as proof of authorization for permitting the access to data stored in the data bank.

Abstract
According to the invention, expensive and technical high-quality implements (ha, lIb) of the aeronautical industry which, for certain checks of the airplanes, must be overhauled and/or new calibrated or certified, are provided with a radio frequency transponder (RFT and/or bar code) with or without cryptography (ISa, 15b) which contains an individual machine readable identification characteristic of the implement (ii a, ii b). The status data of each implement are stored at the manufacturer'"'"'s under this identification characteristic in a central data bank (13) and can be remote called with a corresponding authorization. Thus, it is possible to carry out the sending of the implements without accompanying documents and to optimize the logistic allotment.
