RFID – The Best Solution for Assets Tracking at Airports

Background

The safety of the operations such as aircraft tacking off- Landing, Taxiing and other ground operations can be ensured by proper assets management. Airports in Germany are the busiest mode of transport. Due to heavy air traffic & High density of flights make the ground operation more complex which is why authority feel the requirement for an infrastructure maintenance solution. The primary task for every airport authority is to maintain the basic infrastructure such as runway, taxiway, lighting system, etc. With this objective, German airport authority identify RFID technology for infrastructure and assets tracking. So that, infrastructure maintenance could be done effectively with less cost and resources.

Challenges
  1. Airports have a large number of assets with different sizes and quantity. Manual inspection of these assets is unrealistic and inefficient.
  2. A single error committed in the manual process could be dangerous and affect the safety of the passengers.
  3. Real-time monitoring of assets is not possible in manual process. Thus, management could not anticipate any threat or unwanted event in advance.
  4. Quick action is not possible in an emergency situation because real-time data is not available. Management cannot identify any breakdown immediately. Thus, delay in action affects the normal operation of the airport.
Solutions
Shenzhen Chainway Information Technology Co. is a leading manufacturer of RFID devices. That is why Germany airport authority finds Chainway as a suitable source of RFID handheld devices for tracking and visibility solution. The authority developed the solution with RFID and barcode technology. So, Chainway’s C5000 mobile computer was selected for this purpose. The devices come with a 2D barcode, UHF RFID and WiFi functions. The operator with C5000 computer can scan the assets for tracking, identify misplace items and maintenance schedule of assets. All the data captured with the mobile computer can be easily shared with the main database or server of airport authority in real-time.

Effects
  1. The new solution transforms the inspection process from manual to automatic process which provides fast and accurate assets inspection.
  2. Inspection works are now more accurate and convenient for workers because UHF RFID reader support long distance data capturing. It does not require close inspection or line of sight mode.
  3. German airport is able to lift the security and maintenance standards very high
  4. Authority has achieved the operational efficiency by quick audio of airport authority.
