RFID Solutions as next “wave” of aviation innovation
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a well-established technology used across many industries for inventory control, asset tracking and security measures. Understanding that its application had not been implemented in the aviation market, EAM developed specific RFID solutions to help its clients manage their assets and save costs
How it Works
EAM RFID Solutions, a division of EAM Worldwide allows airlines to efficiently manage its assets by tracking inventory and capturing data, while reducing time to manually inspect and generate reports. EAM RFID Solutions also enhances security measures to keep theft and tampering to a minimum. By eliminating manual inspections and reducing the amount of theft, EAM helps its clients save money and reduce critical turnaround times.
Each life vest, raft and other EAM safety
product can be equipped with an RFID chip that stores the birth record of the asset. Through the use of a handheld scanner or fixed reader, the up- to-date information is transmitted into a server or an organisation’s inventory management system – saving time and money compared to manual surveying and tracking methods. The portable reader can also provide alert notifications including overhaul, missing assets, incorrect location and initialise paperwork.
Multiple Uses and Applications
In addition to incorporating the RFID technology in all of EAM’s survival products, EAM’s RFID Solutions can be employed and used to track oxygen generators, seat belts, seat covers, life rafts, slides, crash axes, smoke detectors, first aid kits, flashlights, and placards. Outside of the aircraft, the system can be used to track inventories, tool or equipment movement, logistics and improve processes for manufacturing and packaging operations. In essence, EAM RFID Solution can control and manage assets where a client needs it most. A company will now be able to complete an entire shipping container or in-warehouse inventory check in just seconds. The old manually-intensive process of checking each piece can be eliminated – thus, saving companies time and money.
Advantages of EAM RFID Integration Software
In addition to the time and money savings companies will immediately experience by integrating software solutions into their system, the ease of daily use and operation will be quickly
welcomed and integrated into any process. • Web-based, graphic drag and drop editor for creating workflows in UML formats
• Integration of back-end systems • Object model that allows separate tag and object data, use of multiple tags per object and use of reusable tags
• Web-based user interface for the visualisation of object position within a certain area or in terms of coordinates
• Monitoring and alerting components for processes and objects
• Capability of using various technologies Barcode, RFID, 2D Barcodes, GPS, GSM

Demonstration is “Proof Positive”
Understanding how EAM RFID Solutions works in actuality can truly illuminate a company to better learn about the applications and advantages of the system and software. EAM will be providing live, interactive demonstrations at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2010. EAM Worldwide is located in Hall B7 – Stand D60.
