ABSTRACT

A method for temporarily closing openings in an aircraft part during a
manufacturing process by providing a first part that has a first opening and
positioning a temporary closure member inside that first opening. The
temporary closure member has an RFID tag that has stored on it a unique
identification. At a later stage in the aircraft manufacturing process, a
scanning device is used to scan for the RFID tag based on the identification.
The temporary closure member is removed from the first opening and
subsequently replaced by a permanent member.
