Smart Flight Case

Abstract

RFID is a well-known identification technology in logistics. It enables cost-effective solutions for transport processes and for inventory management. In the majority HF tags are applied to tag an object [1]. However, there are many applications where this principle malfunctions due to e.g. several contiguous metallic objects which are to be identified. This article is focused on one of these issues where common RFID technologies cannot be applied without further ado. An approach for a smart solution is presented which furthermore not mandatorily needs stationary antennas and a stationary reader unit to read out tags attached to technical equipment in flight cases for the event sector.
