Projekt:
RFID application for aircraft cargo handling
Airbus Germany GmbH Bremen planed the application of radio frequency identification (RFID) for cargo loading systems. Therefore it was essential to analyse how this technology behaves in an aircraft-specific surrounding at typical charge carriers (so-called Unit Load Devices) and how to integrate into the air freight cargo system. The major task was to apply RFID on these ULDs (container, pallet) and to test their suitability within the cargo loading system of an aircraft. The tests took place at the airbus cargo centre and BIBA, so that a realistic aircraft environment was ensured and loading and unloading processes of a cargo plane was simulated.
