Boeing and partner Fujitsu of Japan have developed a maintenance system for airlines based on data-gathering radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and contact memory buttons (CMBs) affixed to aircraft parts, readers to extract the data and associated hardware and software.
Boeing’s RFID Integrated Solutions offering has undergone field testing with Alaska Airlines, the tentative launch customer, and plans call for it to be ready to enter service on February 22, said program manager Phil Coop. Boeing so far has met with 34 airlines to discuss the system, which it has officially offered since October, he said.
