Highest demands for complete traceability and quality control of each component, require thorough identification of each produced, replaced, and (dis-)assembled aircraft component. As many production and MRO-processes for modern aircraft remain to be carried out manually, this poses a great challenge. Many small components either do not feature a Part Number or in MRO-processes their Part Number is occluded or not readable due to dirt and wear. Considering unmarked components with a high resemblance to one another and few characteristics, e.g. standard parts such as bushings and pipes, manual identification is an error-prone task. Avoiding errors through digitalized procedures has the potential to significantly reduce error rates and costs for a typical manual dual control. However, automated identification of components has to overcome the high classification complexity that originates in the manifold of aircraft components and is additionally increased by individualistic MRO modifications for specific aircraft. This work presents a methodological approach to reveal possible challenges for identification procedures and gives special focus to the assessment of similarities between components. Two similarity metrics are introduced that are calculated either through feature-based analysis or through 3D-shape similarity assessment. The methodology is demonstrated with two to this date unsolved Use-Cases that represent different challenges of visual identification systems for similar and unmarked components.
