AirSupply Tools

AirSupply Tools builds tool control kits for aviation and industrial customers in San Diego, California. Its kits help prevent foreign object damage and support a Lean 5S work area. It can build a kit to match the NAVAIR tool control manual, or a full tool control system.

The company makes custom foam for toolkits with a waterjet cutter. It uses laser etching to mark tools, and an optional polycarbonate topper. The foam carries a lifetime warranty. There are no minimum orders, and stock is on hand for quick delivery. The company has more than 10 years of experience serving companies and government organizations.

Laser part marking is a second service. It covers 2D bar codes, part numbers, serial numbers, UID and IUID marks.

AirSupply says it is the only maker of the white box kits used by the US Navy and Marine Corps. These kits use a patented shadow background. It replaces the black markers that were once used to draw tool outlines. The background is permanent and resists abrasion, water and grease. The company also builds custom tool pouches around the tools listed in the NAVAIR manual, made to the customer's design.

The Evolution X Toolbox is a connected tool storage system. It works with a tablet, and users must sign in to check out tools. The system records who took which tool and when. It uses AI to control tools automatically and to help prevent foreign object damage. It also reorders tools that are broken or worn through an online store. The company says it can cut replacement costs by 50 percent or more when paired with a blanket purchase agreement. Reports and alerts can be changed to fit the customer.

AirSupply also offers complete storage solutions. Its customers work in military aircraft, military programs, data centers, space and commercial aerospace. Buyers can ask for a quote on a new kit or on a replacement for a kit they already own. The company also shares catalogs, a price list and a dealer of record form.
