Tool Vend - Tool Vending Machine
Tool Vend is an aviation technology company focused on modernising tool control for line maintenance operations.
Our solution extends tool accountability beyond the traditional tool room and directly to the point of use, where tools are actively used on the aircraft and where operational risk is highest.
By combining intelligent tool storage, technician accountability, real-time monitoring, and integrated tracking technologies, Tool Vend helps maintenance organisations improve operational control, reduce tool search time, minimise Foreign Object Debris (FOD) risk, and increase confidence in aircraft release procedures.
Designed specifically for mobile and line maintenance environments, the platform provides continuous visibility of tools throughout the maintenance process while improving efficiency, compliance, and operational standardisation across multiple sites.
