[0002] In the field of aircraft maintenance, tool management and use are crucial for ensuring flight safety. Aircraft maintenance involves a large number of precision tools, especially small tools such as screwdriver bits, which are diverse in specifications, frequently used, and require extremely high precision. However, traditional tool management methods have the following problems: 1. High risk of tool loss: Due to the complex structure of aircraft, tools (especially small tools) are easily left inside the aircraft during maintenance, potentially leading to serious safety hazards; 2. Problem of tool misuse: Aircraft maintenance has strict requirements for tool specifications and usage scenarios, but traditional tool management methods cannot ensure that maintenance personnel use the correct tools every time, increasing the risk of maintenance errors; 3. Low management efficiency: Traditional tool management relies on manual inventory and recording, which is inefficient and prone to errors, failing to meet the high efficiency and accuracy requirements of aircraft maintenance; 4. Lack of traceability: Traditional tool management cannot record information such as the personnel, time, and location of tool use in real time, making it difficult to meet the high standards of safety and regulatory compliance in aircraft maintenance.

[0003] In recent years, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology has been widely used in tool management due to its contactless, efficient, and traceable characteristics. By embedding chips into tools, RFID technology enables automatic identification, tracking, and management of tools, significantly improving the efficiency and security of tool management. However, existing RFID tool management solutions are mostly focused on large equipment or general-purpose tools, and specialized solutions for small tools (such as screwdriver bits) with high precision and high security requirements in aviation maintenance scenarios are still relatively lacking.
