Press Using RFID tags – Radio Frequency Identification – is helping Boeing and Airbus reduce their parts inventory and speed aircraft repairs. These aerospace giants have each used RFID for years, gradually expanding its use throughout their logistics, maintenance and manufacturing operations to gain more accurate and timely information.
Airbus pioneered RFID in the aerospace supply chain, considering projects as early as the year 2000. Today, it uses passive and active RFID for real-time visibility when tracking work-in-progress, parts, kits, tools and other elements.
