About Tapestry SolutionsGlobal Provider of Information Management Software & Services

Information Management Solutions

ESI: Intelligent Asset Management for the Internet of Things

Training in Live, Virtual, Constructive and Gaming Domains

Distribution & Deployment, C2 and Business Operations

Software Integration and Analysis for Aircraft, Missiles, etc.

Leading MRO Solution for Land, Air, Sea and Space Assets

Complete lifecycle support for Software and Systems

What Problems are we Solving?§ Lack of interoperability - Dealing with

multiple tag types, multiple systems and multiple vendors

§ Unable to find assets & supplies in the production process; slows production and affects profitability

§ Labor-intensive tracking of Work-in-Progress

§ Limited visibility across the enterprise

At Boeing alone, there’s 100+ different technologies managing assets: Wireless, RFID tags, barcode, embedded hardware and complex servers, both legacy and next generation, active and passive

Industry ChallengesManaging disparate sensors for tracking assets

Our Solution: IoT Platform• Sensor-agnostic integration –

both brand and type

• Scalable / Enterprise Capability – Operates in the cloud or on dedicated servers

• Flexible development/ integration framework –Interoperable with ERP / legacy systems

• Connection platform to programmable logic controllers (PLC’s)

• Enterprise visibility and control of assets

• Integration of analytics to digest massive amounts data and to facilitate relevant decision making

ESI - IoT Benefits§ Improved productivity

§ Reduced inventory costs

§ Enhanced supply chain situational awareness & decision support

§ Enterprise visualization and data analysis

§ Improved Safety

§ Increased supply chain velocity

§ Locating Assets

§ Security

§ Safety

§ Workflow Automation

§ Infrastructure Management

ESI Applications

Case Study: BoeingESI delivers estimated $100M in annual operational saving

• Tapestry deployed at 50+ Boeing production facilities

• Integrated 7 different supply systems and5 different types of RF tags

• Enterprise visibility for all users

• Processes 2-3 billion tag readsper week

• Significant production gains & savings

Case Study: BAE Systems

§ Manual bar-code scanning used for tracking & managing assets/ tools

§ ERP system to manually place orders

§ Excel Logs for Material Replenishment

§ Manual Work-in-Progress Multiple Systems of Record

1. Automated Replishment2. Asset & Calibratable Tool Tracking 3. Work in Progress (WIP) Tracking

THE CHALLENGES REQUIREMENTS/ USE CASES

BAE Systems: The Solution

• Features an open architecture (software and hardware)

• Is interoperable with industry-standard AUTO-ID services such as RFID, RTLS or barcoding.

• Processes RFID tag reads and update related fields in the database) in near real-time.

• Automated RFID Material Replenishment system for “just-in-time” material flow”

• Provides alerts for asset state change, including location change, calibration date, status

ESI-Enabled Solution deployed BAE System’s Manufacturing Center in Nashua, NH, and 3 other sites (2017-present)

BAE Systems: The Results

• Increased manufacturing capability & production flow

• Decreased Labor & Operational Costs

• Total Asset Visibility

• 200,000+Assets• 30,000+ Parts• 6,500+Work Orders

AUTOMATED TRACKING THE BOTTOM LINE

ESI IoT Differentiators

§ Built in Work Flow and Alerts • Analytics• Workflow Optimization & Tracking• Triggers, Alerts & Notifications• Improved quality & safety

§ Enterprise Solution

• Single integration platform• Provides common map interface & coordinate reference

system across the RFID technology spectrum• Allows role based sharing and user specific permissions• Utilizes single sign-on security

• Unified infrastructure controls• 2 - 6 Billion Tag / Sensor reads per week – Industry

leader• Sensor centric not RFID centric global enterprise solution

§ Hardware agnostic

• Integrates Passive, Wi-Fi, GPS-Wi-Fi, Ultra Wide Band, GPS transponders
