Applications

A20WST (Wireless Security Tag) and A10 (Wireless Presence Tag) are a key component of the AEROSENS platform to help airlines save costs and increase safety and security by significantly reducing the rate that life vests are stolen or misplaced on aircraft.

Tamper Evident Inspection & Real-Time Monitoring

AEROSENS A20 Wireless Security Tags provide the tamper status for each tagged life vest stowage unit directly to the crew member’s mobile device. The patented AEROSENS Wireless Tag is designed for tagging life vest enclosures or emergency equipment. The small form factor and solid tag structure is ideally suited to life vest stowage units and offers airlines the opportunity to track whether life vest stowage units under the passenger seats have been opened/closed during the flight.

Inventory & Presence Check

AEROSENS A10 Wireless Presence Tag allows to automatically collect emergency equipment data and make inspecting equipment a hands-off process. By installing the tags on cabin safety equipment, the time of pre-flight check of equipment could significantly be reduced from hours to seconds. Saving time by automated equipment inspection in this way can also reduce human factor error and provide easy access to maintenance history.

Attachment Method

High Performance Adhesive

Typically used for fixed or mobile durable equipment where you have a flat surface to apply the tag. This is a fast and easy way to affix the tag and the strong and semi-permanent adhesive can withstand cabin environment without any problems.

Straps/Hanging

Sometimes, you have difficulty finding a flat surface like around a flashlight or on the curve of an oxygen bottle, or even you don’t need the tag to be applied permanently, which means that you want a method of attachment that will hold steady in most situations without being too easy to remove. The tag corner holes allow for simple mounting in applications where a cable tie solution is suitable. The tag can be either hung from one hole or simply strapped via two holes.

Bolts/Screws

In some cases, you might want the tag to be more permanent, then use bolts/screw attachment method. Wireless tags can have degraded performance with metal because it can detune the antenna. Thus, it’s best if you use plastic bolts which can generate a stronger, easier to read signal.

Powering on your Tag

After removing your tag from its packaging, pull out the battery insulating tab as shown in the figure below. This turns the tag on and the LED will be on for three seconds. It’s advisable to leave your tag with the battery insulating pull tab underneath the battery in place until ready to use.
Powering on

Verifying Tag State

To check whether your A20WST or A10WPY tag is operating normally, you can use AEROSENS CMS 5.0 application on an iOS® or Android device. Once logged in, you can scan the QR code or manually enter the mac address to see your tag that is powered on and advertising.
