Finnair claims that the use of IBM's RFID solutions has enabled the Finnair group to bring rapid improvement in the efficiency of its airport operations at Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport. IBM is taking the charge of the innovative solution for the allocation of employee tasks at Northport Ltd. Northport Ltd is the major supplier of ground handling services. It is also a member of the Finnair Group. IBM has agreed to work on a three-year project for the leading operating airlines. Nokia provides wireless technology for the IBM RFID solution.
Jari Viitanen, Vice President Business Development at Northport explains,
Assigning personnel to all the tasks taking place at any given moment is a true challenge. The better information we have on all tasks, the better we can manage our workforce. Especially tough are the last minute changes of arrival schedules, which in turn result in changes in the allocation of tasks. The management needs data when and where staff is available. RFID provides us with this.
