IATA RFID BASED BAGGAGE TRACKING SYSTEM FOR AIRPORTS USA

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an underlying approach to improving existing suspicious baggage-handling services and providing new services.

The IATA is in fact calling for the use of the RFID technologies in baggage handling. Numerous types of trials around the  world show that RFID tags—when coupled with management reporting systems—help to improve baggage performance.

Further research shows that airports and passengers benefit through fewer movement of suspicious baggage across the  global, baggage claims, greater handling efficiency, and less journey disruption.

This is leading airlines to standardize their use of modern technologies such as RFID, and thereby create various ways to  improve airport security, customer satisfaction, and sell additional products and services to passengers throughout their  journeys.

A comprehensive audit trail to enable continuous improvement in baggage handling procedures, increasing  security and reducing the opportunity for baggage theft and also Cost-effective automated compliance with new safety  regulations.

Airport benefits with RFID, airports can:

Improve brand positioning: The airport is more attractive to airlines, and public perception is improved through operational efficiency and increased security levels.

Reduce operation costs: The volume of manual activities is reduced, improving worker productivity.

Position the airport infrastructure to easily and cost-effectively accommodate future growth in passenger and checked baggage volumes because of higher throughput feasibility due to improved efficiency.

Reduce minimum connection times (MCT) for transfer passengers at hub airports (if transfer baggage is handled with RFID)

Improve theft protection: RFID can record the movement of each bag from the moment it is tagged at the curb or the baggage sorting area, providing additional protection against theft.

Ensure compliance with new government safety regulations: RFID can automatically collects the data required to allow airports to easily monitor and ensure compliance with government regulations.

Take advantage of an infrastructure capable of handling the increased baggage volumes today, as well as the significant increase anticipated in the near future.

SYSTEM FEATURES:

Live Monitoring of Suspicious Baggage using ACUBE RFID Baggage Tracking System

a. Location status, live updates , transfer time duration of each RFID tagged suspicious baggage will shown in the  Acube RFID system with images captured at initial stage & at each reading point location.

Notification/Updates on delayed baggage or Baggage in different areas using ACUBE RFID WebServices

Notifications or updates on mobile/PC Application of security officers, if the baggage get halt/delay in movement of baggage in areas like washrooms, baggage claim etc.

Since images captured at different location (Reading point), the officers can identify the bag using EXARK RFID Handheld reader linked with mobile application with minimum amount of time.

Notification can be removed or deactivated using mobile application when baggage has found.

System will get updated with the status of identified baggage after cross verification & security scanning process.
