Abstract

Basically, an RFID chip (Radio-frequency identification) is a very small memory chip, very much like a memory chip in a computer in function. It is the use of a wireless non-contact system that uses radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data from a tag attached to an object, for the purposes of automatic identification and tracking. When the small size RFID chips are integrated in the composites parts during manufacturing processes, the chips can transmit all of the information in every stage of manufacturing of the pieces even they keep all the information after the production.

Today, several RFID integrated systems are commercially used in certain applications such as transportation, supply chain in numerous sectors etc. However, RFID Chips, if we can integrate them directly in the composite parts, from the beginning of the production process, can improve the efficiency of the process and also decrease the lead time and processing time of the manufacturing process. In the frame of the common research project, the present paper concentrate on the direct integration of the RFID chips into the composite parts used in aeronautical industry during the manufacturing (laminating) process of these composite parts in order to develop a better and safety process and accelerate the operational excellence by decreasing extremely the delivery time. It means that it makes the intelligent composite parts via RFID chips during the manufacturing of the composites used in aeronautical engineering.
