Emirates Network Operations & RFID

Emirates Network Operations & Logistics

Network Operations, the custodian of Emirates Airline plays a key role in the overall performance of the airline.

Commercial Planning finalises the commercial operation schedules for the next year, or next season. They work closely with Engineering Planning since the aircraft need to undergo maintenance checks which vary from simple daily checks to complex ones that may take an aircraft out of operation for several weeks.

Network Operations manages three distinct areas of the business:

• Crewing
• Operations Control
• Contingency Response Planning

USE OF RFID IN EMIRATES

Emirates Airline use RFID to improve the tracking of checked luggage. To track the bags from the point of departure to the point of arrival, RFID interrogators read the unique ID from the inlays in each luggage tag—which are otherwise identical to conventional tags and include a bar code—as the bags are moved through a number of chokepoints within each airport. Conventionally, bar-code scanners are employed to identify the tags, but because bar-code technology requires a clear line of sight between the scanner and a printed bar code, the read is often missed due to the orientation of the label to the scanner. The typical successful read rate of baggage bar codes is roughly 85 percent. Use of RFID the percentage of successful read rates to range from the low 90s up to 99.
