Descartes Air RFID Solutions
Enabling Compliance for Cabin Safety Equipment
A complete RFID solution for airlines that allows for the tracking and management of all rotatable and time-limited items to adhere to cabin compliance industry standards.
Ensure Compliance with Industry Requirements for Life-Limited Part (LLP) Equipment
Airlines must maintain and equip aircraft with specific safety equipment, however, tracking the age and quantity of available items can be a labor-intensive and time-consuming task. Legacy processes relying on manual, labor-intensive inspections—such as physically entering an aircraft to check equipment expiration dates—are slow, inefficient, and costly.
Descartes RFID solutions help airlines track and manage cabin equipment to ensure it's available and within industry-defined expiration dates to comply with safety regulations. Our technology can scan aircraft to count materials, cross-reference initial in-service dates, and store the information for recordkeeping to adhere to strict industry requirements.
