For example, before the first flight of the plane every day, airline staff must confirm whether there is a life jacket under the seat. Another check is to verify the integrity of the life jacket safety seal. This is an anti-theft and anti-terrorism measure that is carried out every few hundred flight hours or every few months to verify the availability of life jackets. For these inspections, maintenance personnel must remove each life jacket from its container and check its expiration date. On wide-body aircraft, this task may require a full 8-hour shift. ?
What emergency facilities are there in the cabin of an aircraft
1. Portable oxygen cylinder, health and epidemic prevention kit, emergency medical box, first aid box;
2. Fire extinguisher, fire blanket, smoke mask, toilet smoke detector, automatic toilet fire extinguisher;
3. The flight attendant folds the seat and the restricting device, and the lid of the toilet waste bin;
4. Lengthened seat belt, baby seat belt, flight attendant life jacket, adult backup life jacket, baby backup life jacket, safety demonstration package;
5. Escape axe, emergency transmitter, escape rope on the wing, life raft, emergency flashlight;
6. Communication systems such as loudspeakers, intercom and broadcasting;
7. Emergency evacuation facilities, emergency exit signs, lighting of emergency exit signs, emergency exit control handles, emergency exit passages, etc.
RFID integrated solutions include five applications. Most customers seem interested in starting to use RFID to manage life jackets, oxygen generators and other loose emergency equipment in the cabin.
Lifesaving equipment management
After the oxygen generator is installed on the aircraft, it often requires a lot of manual regular inspections to prevent the equipment from overdue. Before using RFID technology, the staff must open the panel above the seat to check the date of the oxygen generator, so in practice, in order to avoid its overdue, many oxygen generators are replaced before they expire, which is in disguise Reduces the service life of equipment and increases operating costs. Using RFID technology can help the company know when each oxygen generator expires. Similarly, life jackets have the same control requirements and management pain points. By using RFID technology, they provide a good technical means to protect the management of life-saving equipment. We can now use RFID data as a reliable source of information and sign the maintenance mission card in the form of a ‘flight configuration’ report generated by the RFID system.
What benefits can airlines bring
1. The RFID integrated solution is designed to be integrated into the airline's overall maintenance plan, which can reduce the cost of aircraft maintenance. For example, manually checking for the existence, safety, and suitability of life jackets are performed independently, and performing all these tasks on a wide-body aircraft may require 10 or more hours of work. Existence, security, and serviceability checks are also performed. Only a few minutes of labor can complete all tasks at the same time.
2. After using RFID technology, with the special handheld machine, you can directly read the information on the label on the oxygen generator through the panel, and the inspection of the entire aircraft can be completed in 2 minutes by an engineer.
3. The objectives of emergency equipment management include confirming the existence of assets and where they should be, and that they are usable, have not expired, or have not reached the threshold of the expiration time. The RFID integrated solution enables technicians to collect this information by walking in the cabin through RFID handheld terminals. Seats, boxes, compartments, and other areas where equipment is stored, if the component exists and can be used, it will display green on the scanner; if the component is missing, expired, or tampered, it will display red.
Our company have cooperate with Singapore Airlines，have offer 700K airline RFID Labels with MOnza R6 UHF chip.
