If you work in an industry with lots of parts to keep track of that are located in tight spaces, keeping them all tagged and cataloged is consuming work. That cataloging is usually done on your hands and knees or your tip toes or flat on your back getting into the tight spaces to access them. Alaska Airlines in partnership with Boeing and Fujitsu have found a new way to aid in this kind of work. Anyone who remembers Star Trek episodes where they "scanned" objects for information can appreciate this. This Boeing Company video was posted by YouTube user Altumkell. For more information about Alaska Airlines, visitors may also wish to head to Concourse A here at the Carr-Woolman Flight Appreciation Center located on the left hand side of the page. Gates A3 and A4 are for Alaska Airlines. Images of Alaska's world may also be seen at flight observations decks located at flickr such as Carr-Woolman Flight Observation Deck 14
