Application of SuperRFID technology in airport logistics

　　In recent years, the air transport service industry has continued to expand rapidly, and airports around the world are also trying to improve work efficiency in order to provide as fast service as possible. Obviously, under normal circumstances, it is not easy to provide satisfactory services to the daily operations of hundreds of aircraft and a large number of passengers in terms of convenience and safety. At least it is more than what the general public looks like from the surface. Much harder. Some large-scale international airports in China, such as Pudong International Airport, cover an area of ​​32 square kilometers. There are thousands of luggage lockers belonging to different airlines, and hundreds of transport vehicles, trolleys and other frequently move back and forth from various areas. Device and so on. To make it run smoothly, the airport needs to design an efficient and sophisticated planning and logistics system, and rely on a large amount of manpower, material resources and specialized equipment to make it run smoothly and orderly. In this case, special transportation vehicles and luggage are often misplaced or lost, and additional manpower is required to find these assets or provide a written report to the manager to coordinate the use of resources in various aspects. Of course, if the coordination here is not smooth, it will cause more misplacement and loss events, and even fall into a vicious circle, which is extremely detrimental to the airport management authority. Looking at the experience of airport logistics management at home and abroad, for any intelligent system (technology) that wants to solve the above problems, the following 4 functions are indispensable:

(1) It is very convenient to find luggage lockers and transportation equipment;

(2) Any delay in finding important assets for flight preparation purposes can be eliminated in time;

(3) Avoid the extra burden of manual search;

(4) The relevant logistics can be controlled remotely.

Shanghai Xiupai Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.’s real-time positioning system based on active RFID technology provides airport managers with an intelligent tool that can effectively monitor asset utilization efficiency and improve asset management. The grid positioning system composed of long-distance readers can easily determine the regional location of a specific asset and obtain real-time information of the asset. The background can also output all asset lists and related reports in the airport in real time.

Shanghai Xiupai Company is a leading product research and development enterprise in the domestic active RFID industry. It has many years of experience in the application and development of RFID technology. It is the first high-tech company in China that has successfully attracted international venture capital. Supai provides active RFID tags and reader products, and has a number of product patents with completely independent intellectual property rights. The company’s products have successfully won the bid for the GE item positioning project and the INTEL global factory chip tray search project, which has had a significant impact at home and abroad.

　　The key to solving the problem of high-traffic airport logistics is to accurately grasp the location of personnel and equipment at each time node. In this system, the core equipment is the SP-RFS series of readers and SP-TGS series of active tags of Showpad: The long-distance readers of Showpad can simultaneously identify a large number of moving target objects, in the same airport or through The Internet exchanges data at high speed and real-time between various airports and the background to solve the problem of remote control of personnel and assets; low-cost active tags can be attached to target personnel and assets to achieve uniqueness to parcel boxes, special transportation vehicles or equipment Recognition. The back-end software realizes the status recognition of any given asset, including the recording, analysis and report of its movement route. Customers can also customize resource management software with different functions and sizes according to their actual positioning and control requirements, so that the entire system can better meet the actual conditions of airports in various regions.

Specifically, the real-time positioning system based on active RFID technology will play the following roles in airport logistics:

1, Solve the problem of missing luggage

Install RFID tags on luggage at the airport check-in counter (need to be associated with passenger identity), and install readers at the counter, luggage conveyor belt, and cargo hold. In this way, the system can track the baggage all the way until the baggage reaches the passenger’s hand. Solve the problem of missing luggage in the past. If the passenger cannot find the corresponding baggage, he can trace back the baggage circulation process through this system to quickly find the corresponding location.

2, Warehouse management of goods

RFID technology can make electronic tags on the cargo boxes to record the placement, product category, date, etc.; and through the electronic tags on the items, you can grasp the status, location, and location of the goods at any time according to the unique code of each product Is there any place to be lost or delivered to facilitate storage management. Especially for some dangerous goods, there are some special regulations for its handling, loading and unloading and storage, and a little carelessness may cause serious consequences. In some specific areas, such as densely populated areas, once the reader finds that a cargo box containing dangerous goods has entered, it will immediately trigger an alarm message.

3.Transportation process and cargo tracking

This system can record and track the operation of products in real time, accurately and completely, and can comprehensively and efficiently strengthen the management from product production, transportation, to sales and other links, and provide a variety of comprehensive and easy-to-use queries, statistics, data analysis, etc. Features. Each cargo can be set up with complete information inside the network, and the contents, routes and logs of cargo tracking and management can be clear at a glance.

4.Minimize the accident risk of the aircraft as much as possible

First of all, it can reduce the risk of aircraft maintenance errors. In the huge aircraft maintenance warehouse, professionally trained senior mechanics spend a lot of time checking logs every day to find suitable parts on the aircraft. They use this inefficient way to find The method of repairing parts will not only make mistakes frequently, but also waste a lot of precious time. The use of electronic tags on important parts of the aircraft can quickly and accurately display the relevant information of the parts, helping the airlines to replace the problematic parts more quickly and accurately, thus saving a lot of manpower and material resources.

5.Tracking and positioning of goods and personnel

After the application of RFID technology, it can correctly indicate the specific location of each goods among a wide range of goods. And can point out the specific location of the relevant person to be looked for in the airport or on the plane. The purpose of the network system is to improve the safety of the job site. The specific measures are: only drivers who have been trained and approved by the management department are allowed to drive into the job site; the site is equipped with an electronic verification device that can be checked at any time. Another purpose of the network system design is to reduce maintenance costs. Vehicle working condition data can be automatically uploaded, vehicle problems can be reported in real time, and vehicle maintenance plans can be formulated according to the actual use of the vehicle, instead of scheduled on a fixed date; It can help the management department to replace the vehicle at the most economical and ideal time; the asset management network is designed to improve the productivity of the vehicle, to ensure that the vehicle appears in the required place at an appropriate time, and to provide the management department with a special report on the vehicle utilization rate.

6.Coping with terrorist attacks and security

Through RFID technology, a person in the blacklist can send a warning signal when passing the checkpoint, and immediately indicate the location of the relevant person’s luggage. So that the management staff can find out the luggage in time and accurately do related work, and better prevent the occurrence of terrorist incidents. Each electronic label has a set of independent numbers that cannot be modified and is specially encrypted. Can manage sensors and intrusion detection equipment, such as creating, deleting, modifying sensor properties and moving sensors.

7.Authorization of the scope of entry and exit for airport employees

The airport can regulate the scope of activities of each staff member according to their position and identity, and then place the electronic tags of the above information on the staff’s work card. RFID technology can identify whether the employee has entered an unauthorized area, so as to better manage the employee.

8,Long-distance location determination

RFID technology can accurately determine the position in a long distance of tens of meters, avoiding the inconvenience of the old technology that can only detect the position in a short distance. It provides convenience for airport personnel when determining the location of objects and personnel.

1. Long-distance: It can be recognized within 80 meters, and it does not need to be manually approached or swiped or passed in a designated area to recognize, and realize automatic recognition.

2. Large flow: extremely high anti-collision performance, adopting a variety of anti-collision schemes, which can support the identification of more than 200 target persons or objects at the same time.

3. It supports high-speed mobile reading, and the moving speed of the identification card can reach more than 200 km/h.

4. Two-way high-speed data exchange can be realized between the identification card and the card reader.

5. High reliability, working temperature -40℃~85℃, waterproof and shockproof.

6. High anti-interference: There are no special requirements for various interference sources on site, and the installation is convenient and simple.

7. There is no need to apply and pay for the ISM microwave frequency band that is open worldwide.

8. Ultra-low power consumption: safer and healthier for the human body.
