EAM Worldwide utilizes MAINtag as supplier for first dual-memory RFID-enabled life vests on Airbus A320

MAINtag, leading provider of aerospace flyable RFID chips and tags, is providing EAM Worldwide and its EAM RFID Solutions division with FLYtag fiber dual RFID tags for life vests. EAM’s first delivery of life vests with dual-memory tags is for Airbus A320 aircraft owned by European airline easyJet. Airbus announced in 2012 that they will require all life vest suppliers to comply with the dual-memory tag criteria outlined by the ATA Spec 2000 committee. This committee establishes the data format standard for RFID flyable tags. EAM Worldwide, a featured vest supplier for Airbus, is the first company to fulfil this requirement. FLYtag fiber dual covers both single- and dual-record formats and embeds ATA Spec 2000-compliant aerospace silicon chips.
