Research abstract

TelemeTrak proposes modifying its existing solutions to develop a new, integrated Military spec/hardened automatic tool control (ATC) toolbox that runs off a remote located network approved computer or virtual machine (VM) and incorporates a user interface screen, multi-factor authentication, tool tracking, tool wear, tool home recognition, Foreign Object (FO) scans, and AI to do predictive tool replacement that runs off a centrally located service approved computer.  Our new, integrated ATC toolbox will be intuitive, multi-touch, and user-friendly. It will use multi-factor authentication and have tool tracking, tool current location, last known tool location, tool wear-and-tear status, missing tool recognition, foreign object detection, and incorporate predictive tool replacement with automatic ordering features. The toolbox will operate on battery power for a minimum of 8 hours prior to needing a recharge or battery swap, and meet HERO certification requirements with a max "Safe Separation Distance" of 10 ft for UNSAFE from the AF Safety Center. The ATC will be easy for the end-user to reconfigure/update to remove/add tools/components and will be able to operate in a communications-compromised environment. It will meet these  requirements:1. MIL-STD-810G/hardened2. The toolbox must meet requirements to obtain a HERO certification with max ""Safe Separation Distance"" of 10 ft for UNSAFE from the AF safety center. 3. The ATC needs the ability to use a remote located AFNET computer or VM capable with a user interface screen and multifactor authentication on the toolbox. 4. The ATC needs the ability to track and notify technicians on tool locations, wear/condition status of the tool, identify correct placement of tools and notify when a tool is missing, and locate/identify FO within the toolbox. 5. The AI system needs to conduct predictive tool replacement that operates on a centrally located service approved computer, capable of communicating with all ATCs. 6. The ATC must remain mobile. 7. The ATC needs to be capable of receiving power from an outlet ranging from 110-240V with the ability to operate from batteries for 8 hours prior to needing a recharge or battery swap. 8. The batteries must be easy to swap and capable of recharging within the ATC or on dedicated charging stations. 9. The ATC needs to offer wired and wireless connectivity to AFNET and Commercial systems and capable of connecting to closed intranet systems operating on NIPR or lower levels. 10. The ATC needs expansion capability to receive new types of tools and compatible with toolbox expansion from other companies and systems to include a REST API for pushing data to future authoritative data repositories and reporting systems. During Phase II, TelemeTrak will develop an example of how the ATC could be used in a commercial and military environment for vehicle maintenance and airports.11, expansion capabie to receive new types of tools.
