Labeling solutions for
the aviation industry

Transparency, safety and profitability through RFID and barcode technology – for airplane manufacturers, airport operators and airlines

Cost pressure, competition, Covid-19 – the time has now come for many experts to further promote digitalization in the aviation sector. All direct and indirect market actors are required – airplane manufacturers, airports, airlines and service providers, for example in the catering and cleaning industries.

Plöckl Media Group offers innovative, durable and economic labeling and identification solutions for practically every area of the aviation industry. RFID technology is paramount – because it offers numerous advantages:

Safe electronic data handling without the risk of incorrect information being input manually
Individually designable data carrier models and modes of operation, as well as reliable integration and attachment options
High tag resistance and thus high data security, and fast data availability, for example during baggage tracking
Reading and, where necessary, writing of data carriers without direct visual contact – for example when it comes to parts installed in airplanes or stowed life jackets (contactless date control)
Practically 100% reading reliability, even in harsh operating conditions, for example on the airfield or in mobile passenger boarding bridges

RFID for airplane construction and maintenance

Quality and safety requirements, obligations to provide verification and documentation – the work and costs involved in the manufacture, assembly and maintenance of airplane components are high. At least when barcodes and paper receipts are the only data carriers in the process chain – and data is not only read and saved, but also needs to be updated at a decentralized position and directly on a component. With RFID solutions from PMG, parts can be identified if you wish to “shelve” your paper chaos, for example in the

supply of parts and components for the manufacturing process
documentation of assembly and processing procedures
selection, implementation, documentation, reconditioning or recalibration and cataloging of tools

RFID solutions from Plöckl Media Group GmbH are readily available and future-proof as they support the electronic parts identification process.

RFID for baggage and cargo operations at airports

With individually configurable RFID labels in InMould, OnMould and loop design, PMG provides a permanently readable, undetachable and tamper-evident identification of airport assets. RFID technology can withstand adverse weather conditions with ease – without having to print out wet or dirty labels and work documents. Loading procedures for aviation can then be accelerated and simultaneously designed to ensure their data is secure. The information from a range of different stations involved in the logistics process, such as freight handling, customs or other internal departments, can accompany the object and be managed and updated at a decentralized position. This provides electronic transport verification. Thus, for example, identifying air freight containers with RFID guarantees that they are loaded into the correct airplane under the observance of a prescribed loading configuration: each container is reliably deposited at the correct position in the cargo compartment. Fewer loading errors also mean lower costs – reducing airplane standing times saves money, as does the reduction of costs arising as the result of errors in baggage and cargo operations.

RFID for service providers such as catering and cleaning companies

RFID solutions from PMG also offer service providers, such as catering and cleaning companies, improved process reliability and profitability in which, for example, cabin trolleys and high-value items of equipment for cabin cleaning can be managed, planned and tracked using a paperless system. In particular, the OnMould and looptag RFID tags also make it possible to provide reliable labeling solutions at a later date.

RFID technology from PMG –
the advantages at a glance!

The use of Plöckl RFID solutions always guarantees consistent and prompt parts and data management in this and other applications – without incorrect data inputs, without reading and transfer errors, without loss of data. Allocation and processing times are reduced, the order picking and assembly of incorrect parts reliably avoided – while simultaneously minimizing the work and costs involved in administration.
