Knowing where dollies are at all times will help Munich Airport prevent operations delays or interruptions due to missing or lost items, and eliminate lengthy searches for dollies that are due for their annual maintenance inspections. In addition, the airport will also be able to charge cargo companies more accurately based on the location and usage of dollies, according to AeroScout. ]]> http://www.rfidnews.org/2009/10/20/munich-airport-adopts-rfid-to-track-cargo-on-ground

RFID tags from Savi Technology, a Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) company, have been used successfully for years aboard U.S. military aircraft under other certification programs, but USAF's certification now broadens their usage aboard all kinds and sizes of aircraft throughout all the Services. Eight of Savi's RFID tags, which can be affixed to supplies, Unit Load Devices, containers, pallets and other transport conveyances, were approved under MIL-STD-46IF and MIL-STD-464A, which addresses electromagnetic interference issues.
Previously, Savi Technology became the first company to receive Supplemental Type Certification from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration for usage of one of its RFID tags on a commercial aircraft.
"U.S. Air Force certification of our broad portfolio of RFID tags extends the ability of the DoD to further automate monitoring of its supplies end-to-end across all modes of transportation," said David Stephens, chief executive officer of Savi Technology. "This clearance provides further validation that Savi's RFID devices can be safely used aboard government or commercial aircraft to improve the efficiency, security and condition of in-transit supplies."
Savi's standards-based RFID can be used for multiple applications, ranging from simple asset tracking to security monitoring and, when embedded with sensors, to check the health of assets by monitoring environmental changes such as temperature, humidity and shock. Savi's active, battery-powered RFID tags are compliant with the ISO 18000-7 standard and are interoperable with all 18000-7 compliant devices and reader infrastructure provided by the Automatic Identification Technology (AIT) industry.
18000-7 compliant RFID devices developed by Savi Technology are safe aboard aircraft because they transmit only microwatts of power intermittently in short data packets. The tags also can be de-activated, or "turned off", but the USAF evaluations, which were done in real-world taxi and flight scenarios as well as in laboratories, determined that they were safe aboard aircraft even when activated continuously. ]]> http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayReleaseContent.aspx?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/08-12-2009/0005076325&EDATE=
