Business Wire
Brady (NYSE:BRC), a leading manufacturer and marketer of
high-performance identification products, has been chosen by Airbus
to provide flexible print-on-demand RFID integrated nameplates to
wirelessly identify and track its internally produced flyable parts
throughout an aircraft. The tags also store information about
component history.
The integrated solution was the result of a joint development
between Brady and Tego, Inc., a leader in next generation RFID
(radio frequency identification), to leverage Brady’s core
competency in high-performance materials designed to withstand
extreme environments and Tego’s rugged, high-memory chip
technology. RFID integrated nameplates represent the next
generation of tags that significantly simplify and expand RFID
applications in the aerospace industry.
With RFID tags, airplane parts and their histories can be
tracked throughout their lifecycle with significant reduction in
manual and paper administration. Using a hand-held reader,
maintenance and other workers can gather information about
component age, repair history and maintenance schedules without
needing direct line of sight to individually check hundreds of
components in each aircraft.
“This latest contract for flexible RFID integrated nameplates
signifies the adoption of rugged, high-memory identification
solutions in the aerospace industry,” said Timothy Butler, CEO of
Tego, Inc.
"Brady is poised to engage its global sales and technical
support network to assist Airbus professionals anywhere in the
world,” said Matt Williamson, president of Brady’s Identification
Solutions business. “We are committed to on-going support of
Airbus, as well as our collaboration with Tego, as the
expansion of RFID in the Airbus fleet continues to revolutionize
component identification and tracking in the avionics
industry."
