Background
• Boeing is implementing RFID on all ARL* parts across their
fleet – Baseline on 777X • Phased implementation depending on RFID technology maturity, and
Supplier negotiations
• Initially starting with high volume ARL parts such as Life Vests,
Oxygen Generators and Seats, brings the most value to
airlines
• Released Airplane Configuration Bulletin (ACB)
7BOEING PROPRIETARY
*Aircraft Readiness Log (ARL) is an accurate listing of serialized, life-limited
parts installed on the aircraft (~3000 parts on 777) provided at the time of delivery
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

• Initially starting with high volume ARL parts such as Life Vests,
Oxygen Generators and Seats, brings the most value to
airlines
• Released Airplane Configuration Bulletin (ACB)
• Boeing is leading the various industry standards with Airbus
and other stakeholders to ensure consistent implementation
for airlines (Readability from tags during maintenance)• Standards: SAE AS 5678, ATA Spec 2000 Ch 9-5

Motivation
• Alternative and highly efficient
method of regulatory compliance
• Optimum utilization of age
controlled parts
• Accurate birth record enhances
the value during lease transfer
and repair
• Maintenance Cost Reduction
(~2%)
• Reduce the possibility of
counterfeit parts entering their
supply chain
RFID part marking benefits all stakeholders

Motivation
• Automated management of parts
delivery and distribution
• Optimization of inventory due to
improved end-end visibility
• Historical lifecycle data from the
operators
• Accurate status of part condition
from the field
• Common process across different
customers
• Alternative and highly efficient
method of regulatory compliance
• Optimum utilization of age
controlled parts
• Accurate birth record enhances
the value during lease transfer

Aircraft Readiness Log (ARL) parts
• Reduced flow time on ARL inspection
• Helps provide an expanded ARL list to the airlines
• Automated management of parts
delivery and distribution
• Optimization of inventory due to
improved end-end visibility
• Historical lifecycle data from the
operators
• Accurate status of part condition
from the field
• Common process across different
customers
