About The Customer
Toll Helicopters, headquartered in Australia, has been providing safe and reliable helicopter services for over ten years. Their services include emergency medical service, search and rescue operations, passenger transfer, and logistics support. The integrated team comprises pilots, aircrew, helicopter engineers, safety managers, trainers, and inventory and aviation management specialists with extensive civil and military helicopter experience. Toll operates globally and is contracted to manage the New South Wales (NSW) Ambulance Aeromedical Rescue Helicopter Service, which is based out of Sydney, Wollongong, Orange, and Canberra. The fleet includes eight AgustaWestland 139 (AW139) helicopters, which are crucial for connecting rural communities and regional health emergencies to metropolitan health services.
The Challenge
Toll Helicopters, contracted to operate the New South Wales (NSW) Ambulance Aeromedical Rescue Helicopter Service, needed an efficient inventory management and maintenance system for its helicopter base. The fleet, consisting of eight AgustaWestland 139 (AW139) helicopters, provides critical services such as emergency medical service, search and rescue operations, and passenger transfer. The challenge was to find a smart, compact, and easy-to-use solution that would enhance accuracy, efficiency, and productivity while providing a good return on investment.
The Solution
Honeywell provided an inventory solution that includes the PC42t desktop printer and the CK3X handheld computer. When a helicopter part arrives at the aeromedical base, a specific label is created by the PC42t desktop printer and placed on the part. The part is then scanned by the CK3X handheld computer and assigned a location label to ensure it can be quickly found when needed. This system not only helps in locating spare parts but also provides visibility on when common helicopter parts are running low and need to be reordered. The PC42t desktop printer is quiet, reliable, and fits seamlessly into the existing printing environment, while the CK3X handheld computer enhances accuracy and productivity with its sleek, easy-to-carry design. The rugged and versatile CK3X adapts to almost all working conditions and temperatures, making it an ideal choice for the demanding environment of helicopter maintenance.
Operational Impact
  • The PC42t desktop printer is quiet, reliable, and integrates well into the existing printing environment.
  • The Honeywell PC42t is a smart upgrade from various legacy printers, reducing downtime and enabling seamless scanning of both linear and digital barcodes.
  • The CK3X mobile computer enhances accuracy and productivity at the facility, and its sleek form factor is easy to carry around.
  • The rugged and versatile CK3X adapts to almost all working conditions and temperatures, making it suitable for the demanding environment of helicopter maintenance.
