Reducing aircraft life vest underutilisation by implementing RFID-enabled inspections

Assessing cyber‐physical systems to balance maintenance replacement policies and optimise long‐run average costs for aircraft assets

“…Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems consist of RFID tags, readers, and a back-end system to analyse the data of the scanned tags. RFID technologies have been implemented to achieve efficiencies throughout the supply chain [30][31][32][33][34] and have been shown to improve the speed and efficiency of aircraft maintenance inspections [35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. Indeed, RFID systems have the potential to play a role in enabling self-serving assets [42,43] to improve the dynamic information flow of aircraft assets.…”
