Improves maintenance processes

RFID technology can track key assets such as luggage carts, wheelchairs, ULDs and containers around the airport as well as safety equipment inside the aircraft to help improve the management of assets, increase operational efficiency and ensure regulatory compliance. 

Ensuring you have the right assets in the right place at the right time

Using RFID or BLE technology, our RFiD Discovery solution can track assets such as luggage carts, wheelchairs and uniforms around airports to collect to detect exact location, usage and history of each item.

By placing readers at the key points such entrance and exit of the terminals or baggage halls, the airport can determine how many luggage carts or wheelchairs have entered or left each area. This, for example, enables luggage cart management teams to see whether sufficient luggage carts are available where required and understand which are used more than others and therefore provide the correct maintenance they need.

This technology can also be used to forecast the flow of passengers through an airport and how often they use a luggage cart or wheelchair and where they collect them from. 

Benefits:

  • Accurate real-time visibility of asset locations 
  • Uniquely identify individual assets in order to monitor their utilisation
  • Accurate monitoring of luggage cart performance and durability
  • Identify shortages or surplus of equipment 
  • Faster asset collection e.g. luggage cart being collected and placed in the right location

In addition, our parent company, Paragon ID also provides baggage tracking solutions using RFID tags in order to track the location of luggage from one location to another.
