New RFID Printing Solution for Aircraft Parts

 
FLYtag in armMAINtag and Zebra Technologies Launch New FLYplug® Enterprise RFID Printing Solution For Aircraft Parts ID
April 8, 2014 (Atlanta, Georgia, USA) - FLYplug®, a new label-based format for aerospace RFID parts identification, has been launched by MAINtag in partnership with Zebra Technologies.
FLYplug is easy to use, cost-efficient and practical for aircraft (A/C) manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and MRO sectors that want to upgrade from older barcode identification labels or name plates to a 
state-of-the-art, data-robust RFID tagging system.
 
The FLYplug RFID printing solution includes software license, Zebra Technologies RFID printers (RZ400, RZ600 and R110Xi4 series as well as the new ZT410R and ZT430R) and MAINtag's on-metal ruggedized flexible FLYchip®-embedded RFID tags. This new system sets a standard that outperforms existing on-metal identification.
Based on MAINtag's patented on-metal RFID label (firm-plate) technology, FLYplug is a global integrated printing/encoding enterprise package solution based on ATA Spec 2000. It is the logical stand-alone and networkable solution for fast, fully automated and cost-efficient printing/marking and encoding of RFID-integrated labels.
FLYplug® Features include:
-       An integration service package (can be used stand-alone or networked)
-       FLYplug's enterprise software ATA Spec 2000 distribution package license
-       Commissioning and training
-       Oracle and SAP certified
-       Service-based on intuitive "wizards" to allow easy design of custom forms with data entry and/or web-based templates
-       Readability from most databases (ODBC, OLE DB and non-Windows such as AS/400, SAP, LINUX, Oracle ...), spreadsheets or texts.
-       "Print/Encode jobs" can be launched directly form the platform, TCP/IP sockets, emails, files or other trigger event.
The FLYplug® package solution is what OEMs are expecting in order to facilitate a smooth upgrade from barcode labeling to ATA Spec 2000 RFID parts marking without the need to invest in a costly IT project.
