Maintag provides Thales with complete RFID system for tracking and maintenace of In-Flight Entertainment system

Making sure that in-flight entertainment systems are working properly at every seat on every plane, cabin systems supplier Thales, chose MAINtag to provide a complete RFID package for their latest generation of in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems onboard all their contracted Airbus A350 XWB and A380 aircraft as well as various Boeing planes. All new video displays and some servers will be tagged with FLYtag nano low-memory RFID tags.The nano tags are ideal for this purpose because when a screen becomes broken it is replaced; there is no reason to spend more money on big-memory or multiple-record tags. The low-memory format delivers quick data uploads and downloads; the tags are metal compatible and support long read ranges. MAINtag’s QMS and FLYtag range have been previously approved by Airbus in the frame of the A350 XWB.
