A Glimps Into Our Projects
Warehouse & Material Flow Management
At ATR, we operate both Part 21 and Part 145 warehouses, ensuring full compliance with civil aviation regulations. Our team handles over 7,000 items, from receipt and storage to packing and global dispatch. The focus here is on reliability and efficient turnaround times to support both production and maintenance operations.
Tool Management
For Airbus in Toulouse, we run an integrated tool shop and over-the-counter service, supporting daily production with over 7,000 tool movements and 20,000 items in circulation. Our team ensures immediate access to tools, reducing downtime and maintaining quality standards. We also manage tool condition, repairs, and replenishment in close coordination with Airbus teams.
At the A320, A321, A330, and A350 Final Assembly Lines, we operate six warehouses and six annexes. Our 30 certified logistics specialists handle more than 60,000 parts and tools daily. Their work is tightly embedded in Airbus production, ensuring timely delivery to the right stations and supporting overall production efficiency.
Custom Logistics System for Airbus A350
For the refurbishment of an Airbus A350 test aircraft near Bordeaux, ARTS Group developed a tailored logistics and warehouse system focused on managing wing structure components during disassembly and reassembly.
The system, integrated into Airbus’ SAP, enabled structured categorisation, storage, and distribution of parts. It also supported part tracking, non-conformity management, and cross-department communication—resulting in smoother logistics and better team coordination through aviation-specific expertise.
