Civil aircraft undergo a series of maintenance checks daily to ensure that they are ready for flight at any time. This includes verifying the presence and expiration dates of life vests. However, the traditional manual inspection method has several issues:

• Low inventory efficiency: Using the conventional manual inspection method, it takes 30-60 minutes to complete the check for a single aircraft.
• High error rate: Human factors increase the risk of missed inspections.
• Difficulty in inventory data retrieval and imprecise expiration monitoring: This leads to inefficient management.

The application of AUTOID UTouch 2 RFID Mobile Computer brings the following value to HNA:

• The use of RFID technology has increased efficiency by more than 5 times compared to manual operations.
• Real-time display during the inventory process prevents missed inspections, significantly improving accuracy.
• Integration with the software management system enables full-process information management of life vest monitoring.

High-reliability RFID tags are affixed to each life vest. By using the AUTOID UTouch2 RFID Handheld Computer in combination with the software system, information for each life vest can be quickly and efficiently obtained in real-time. This allows for the inspection of all life vests on an aircraft to be completed within 5 minutes.
