Virgin Atlantic Airways Tests RFID for Part Tracking

"Virgin Atlantic Airways is piloting RFID to track parts used for aircraft maintenance and repairs at its Heathrow Airport warehouse. Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. (TCS) and Oracle installed the system, which will use RFID and sensor-based solutions to manage the consignment, storage, and dispatch of parts. The system will be used in tandem with process reviews and Virgin's current materials management software, Ultramain. Tata will develop the solution on Oracle Fusion Middleware, RFID-enabled applications and Oracle Database 10g." Source: frontlinetoday.com
