Tier 1 MRO provides automated inventory management and RFID asset-tracking solutions for aviation and industrial organizations, including turn-key engineered intelligent inventory systems, operational assessments, and consulting. Its solutions help reduce foreign object debris/damage (FOD) risk — an estimated $4B/year industry problem — by improving accountability across tools, parts, and materials.

Tier1 MRO, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, designs and deploys automated inventory and tool control systems for aviation, military, manufacturing, energy, healthcare and utility operations. Its offering combines smart vending machines, secure lockers, Modula vertical lift modules and RFID and barcode tracking with inventory software from partners including AutoCrib, SupplyPro, CribMaster and Zebra Technologies. Its Crib-Connect service feeds that inventory data into customer ERP systems. In aviation the focus is tool accountability and foreign object debris (FOD) control through real time visibility and traceability of tools, parts and consumables. Referenced customers include the US Air Force and Incora, and the company also delivers LEAN assessments and inventory process consulting.
