In Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul, there is never any room for doubt. The imperative to avoid risk means that more than 50% of consumables are wasted each year. This is because they have either reached the end of their shelf life or because the time from opening/mixing has not been recorded effectively.
Hand-written labels can be hard to read and batch numbers can be partially obscured by spilt product. Valuable time is wasted trying to find paperwork or batch numbers to establish when the product was mixed/opened and if it is still good to use.
The consequences of using expired products can be non-compliance and ultimately aircraft on the ground, costing time and money for rework. On the other hand, the premature replacement of products also creates waste and costs.
There is a solution.
