How is Boeing using RFID in its aircraft?

Question

I need a website to back up your answer, please.

Answer 1

They are installing radio frequency identification (RFID) tags on airplane parts to speed up parts inventory and lifespan management, thereby reducing flight delays.These tags will allow ground crews to check the remaining life span of parts without having to open access panels or do visual inspection

In 2001, Boeing began tagging aircraft tools and tool boxes with RFID microchips that contained history, shipping, routing and customs information.

Under the RFID program, inspection crews armed with handheld readers that send out radio waves simply have to pass the devices over RFID tagged parts. The tags then transmit the data contained in the microchip. The readers have a range of 10 feet.The battery powered tags will contain a 915 megahertz microchip and will be readable from 200 feet.

The Boeing 7E7 will have some 2,000 parts with RFID tags, each tag worth at least C$15 (US$13) to C$20.The plane's first flight is expected this year.

With the hand held readers and RFID tags, it only takes six minutes.
