RFID Transportation Solutions

Transportation and Logistics

As globalization increases and the time and distance between the point of manufacturing and the point of consumption increases, so does the need for these companies to improve the efficiency of their operations, reduce costs and ultimately provide better customer service. With rising demands for the delivery of goods, transportation companies are looking for faster and cheaper means of delivery, and increased and more accurate tracking capabilities.

RFID solutions for the transportation and logistics industry (including air, rail, water, truck, parcel/post delivery, transit, and pipeline) help companies access more accurate and timely data to manage their assets, including the transportation vehicle.

RFID solutions to increase visibility into asset maintenance, yard management, dispatch, pickup and delivery are readily available to help companies improve efficiencies and enhance services to their customers.

Aviation

The airline industry faces continued pressure to meet operational challenges while concurrently absorbing costs associated with mandates for increased security. Rising fuel prices, intense pricing among competition, and costs incurred through compliance with government regulations, have compelled U.S. airports and carriers to rethink their approach to passenger screening, baggage and cargo.

To combat rising costs and fare reductions, airlines are seeking to improve the efficiency of business processes. RFID is one technology that is increasingly being utilized to deliver dramatic efficiency improvements in one of the most critical areas of operations: baggage handling.

Enhance customer service with improved baggage handling efficiency
Efficient baggage handling optimizes the passenger travel process.

Optimize maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) processes
RFID helps realize integrated MRO – reducing fleet maintenance costs and increasing fleet availability (asset uptime) by optimizing supplier collaboration and improving parts availability.

Improve departure times
Reduce delayed departures by efficiently moving baggage from conveyors to screening machines to planes, and satisfying increased security protocols.

Increase security
Associate every piece of luggage to its accurate owner/passenger.
