Business Savings EBIT, Cash, Cost Avoidance
Visibility Information about working, not working
Measurability Where is it working, not working?
Improve the way of working Business Process
RFID, Bar Codes etc. Accurate and efficient information
Quick wins
through data
automation
Long term wins
through
continuous
improvement
Improving visibility is a pre-requisite to improve the way of working and deliver business savings

A350XWB RFID tests status
September 2013 IATA MCC 2013
Page 5
2000 RFID enabled parts
by aircraft
700 different part
numbers
230 part numbers to be
tested
Test scope
Complete scope
Test successful: Tag readable All data are ATA spec 2000 compliant Data format issue: Tag readable but wrong EPC or data format
Software issue: Tag is not readable or was not correctly encoded
Tag not present: No tag on part in spite of supplier agreement

Next steps : RFID part marking generalization Flyable tag Generation 2 Objectives
Data consistency: 3-in-1 integrated labels: readable, bar-codes, RFID Enable wide application of RFID part marking to a/c components
Minimizing design change (inter-changeability of nameplate types) Minimizing industrial change (replacement of printable item) Minimizing overall cost (vs. traditional nameplate + RFID tag)
Same functionality than A350 XWB tags (Generation 1) Improved RF performances
Status of the development
RFI (Request for Information) done in Q1 2013 with promising results Selection in Q4 2013 (Request for Quotation RFQ) First industrial products available in Q1 2014

2013 ~2015-2018 ~2020
A350XWB: First commercial aircraft equipped with RFID
2007
Airbus is generalizing the use of RFID across the value chain
CERIS++: Main cabin items (Life-Vests / Seats)
Wave0: RFID Traceability in Airbus for A350 parts
Wave1: RFID integrated label on
High volume items Items requiring complementary data Rotable assemblies (+ Inputs from the IATA survey)
All traceable items
(AIR&CAIR) as
required
Vision:
All serialized
items

Use cases example (1) Configuration Data Capture
Are you sending mechanics to aircraft to check configuration data?
Do you need to remove parts on aircraft to access nameplates?
Are you manipulating paper (e.g. work orders) in large numbers?
Do you need to clean up on a regular basis your data in your MIS?
RFID is todays enabler to remove / reduce these pain points Supporting electronic work orders on mobile devices Supporting error-free data capture during all processes Recording traceability data locally before it can be transmitted to MIS

Use case example (2) Repair shop cycle How much time do your teams take to send a part for repair?
How much time do your teams take to receive a part from repair or pool?
What is the Turn Around Time you get from repair shops?
Do you have parts blocked in repair shops for documents problems?
Are you providing repair shop data to your mechanics performing
troubleshooting on aircraft?
RFID is todays enabler to remove / reduce these pain points Supporting recording of reasons for removal for repair shops Allowing immediate retrieve of technical data at your door steps Providing automatic Turn Around Time calculation capabilities Providing historical data to all actors along the lifecycle

Use cases example (Quick Wins) Cabin inspection & Non-Flyable How often are you performing life-vests inspections?
How much effort to inspect cabin loose equipment presence and dates?
How much effort to ensure TSA enclosure requirements?
How many tools do you loose each year?
Do you have issues with Foreign Objects Detection?
How much waiting time for mechanics to obtain tools?
How many GSEs are under used because their position is unknown?
RFID is todays enabler to remove / reduce these pain points Cabin inspection RFID based solutions are proven RFID based tool management system are proven Many more use cases could be developed

Conclusion & Questions
Airbus is supporting industry-wide adoption of RFID technology
Airbus products are or will be equipped with permanent RFID tags
It is time for airlines and MROs to evaluate RFID opportunities
Airbus Value Chain Visibility team is ready to assist
Questions are welcomed!
