category: RFID
Lufthansa Technik, a global provider of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, has been successfully using UPM Raflatac’s RFID technology in tracking aircraft components for the past two years.
Lufthansa Technik Logistik, the logistics service provider of LHT, has been attaching RFID tags to documents accompanying components as they are removed, serviced or repaired, and reinstalled.
The use of RFID technology has improved the repair-cycle process for components by reducing or eliminating the need for manual data entry, thus also avoiding delivery errors, and automatically verifying the authenticity of parts.
