Virgin Atlantic's pilot project for RFID

Virgin Atlantic has embarked on a pilot test where it will use RFID tags to track and locate high value aircraft parts that can be repaired.  Using RFID tags, the airline can track these valuable items 24 * 7.

Virgin Atlantic chose to use RFID solutions provided by Symbol Technologies, Inc. The pilot project will take place at Heathrow International Airport in London.

The airline's pilot project uses Symbol's MC9000-G RFID handheld mobile computers in conjunction with RFID readers and Symbol wireless LAN infrastructure.
