According to recent sources, Fiji Airways has installed RFID systems on its more than 4,000 emergency equipment to reduce inspection time to a few minutes.
According to the relevant person in charge, the system can not only help inspectors to improve speed, reduce errors, but also prevent flight delays caused by emergency equipment inspection. The solution attaches RFID tags to emergency equipment and uses handheld readers to query these devices for data analysis and management through software provided by the service provider.
In the long run, Fiji Airlines intends to use the technology to automate inspections while analyzing historical data.
Fiji Airways is an international airline based in Nadi, flying to 10 countries including the United States. As usual, the relevant staff of the airline will check the status of the emergency equipment on a weekly or monthly basis.
Before the installation of the RFID system, it usually took 90 minutes for the inspection of the small aircraft and 8 hours for the inspection of the large aircraft, which was very time consuming and labor intensive.
Beginning last year, Fiji Airways began to understand RFID technology as part of its Air Management Surveillance System (AMOS) program. In the middle of the year, the airline began developing a solution with related RFID solution providers.
In January of this year, Fiji Airways began trials of the technology and spent a week training 60 employees. Among them, most devices need to use RFID tags for marking.
It is reported that Fiji Airlines uses UHF RFID electronic tags. Single and dual record labels are used in this project, which are compliant with the ATA Spec2000 Ch9-5 standard. All tags have a unique ID number and are associated with item information in the service provider software. The UHF RFID handheld reading and writing device is used in conjunction with the UHF RFID handheld reading and writing device to read the UHF RFID electronic tag.
When the inspector is working on the aircraft, he can simply check the application on the card reader. The reader reads the RFID tag and then transmits the data to the system over the cellular network. If the system detects that the item is missing, expired, or needs repair, the system will alert the inspector.
To date, the company has applied more than 4,000 labels to life rafts, oxygen cylinders, generators, extended seat belts, earmuffs, flashlights, fire extinguishers and life-saving kits. These devices are used on the company's A330, 737, ATR and Twin Otter aircraft.
Subsequently, Fiji Airways will use RFID technology to track the seat cover. The airline will periodically clean the seat cover, and RFID technology will provide information on the cleaning and replacement of the seat cover. It is reported that the goal of the system is to track the number of cleanings and to confirm that the seat cover is installed in the correct place.
Fiji Airlines has adopted RFID technology to assist in faster and more efficient emergency equipment inspections in 15 aircraft. Jietong Technology (http://) Xiaobian finishing!
