After the International Air Transport Association (IATA) released the recommended practice (RP) for the use of RFID in air baggage tags, technology companies began to introduce UHF RFID products. NXP, Alien Technology and Zebra Technologies are no exception.
The "RP 1740C" RP document and IATA's Resolution 753 initiative use UHF tags for airports and airlines to automatically track baggage status and location. The updated version of the RP, drafted and approved at this year's IATA Passenger Service Conference (PSC), aims to promote the use of RFID inlay technology for baggage tags produced in January 2020. IATA's use of RFID technology is designed to further reduce the misuse rate of global air baggage.
As early as 2005, IATA began researching RFID technology. The agency knows that the technology is very useful and can reduce the probability of improper baggage handling.
Using the 2005 RP scanned by barcode, the misoperation rate was reduced from 18.87 misoperations of 1000 bags to 5.73 times. Price says this is good news for every practitioner. He said: "Then, the misoperation rate has not been further reduced. Therefore, we need RFID technology to further improve the baggage handling in the aviation industry."
Logistics factors have always been a challenge for RFID deployment. Why do airlines invest in RFID reading infrastructure, but airports don't? So, the resolution began to push other parties to deploy the technology. Price says: "RFID technology is the lowest cost method for automatic baggage identification and tracking. IATA expects this technology to further reduce baggage mishandling rates. Using RFID technology will provide a new, reliable information base."
For technology providers, the challenge is to provide the solutions needed to implement RFID applications. Susanne Schadler, marketing manager for NXPRAIN RFID Logistics, said NXP is an integrated circuit manufacturer offering UHF RFID chips and has been providing technology to the aerospace industry.
Schadler said airlines and airports have been considering technology-based solutions to track baggage for the past 20 years.
Delta Air Lines has deployed RFID to track the baggage of all passengers. Airports such as McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas and Hong Kong International Airport also use RFID technology to track baggage passing through the airport. Schadler said NXP is also undergoing multiple proof-of-concepts. She added: "We have a product that is very suitable for this application. Ucode 8 has demonstrated high performance in its deployment to date."
The RFID chip will be built into the paper tag and the airline can identify the baggage at the airport. The RFID tag has a unique ID number that can be bound to specific baggage information.
Schadler said: "This is an important step in RAIN RFID. RFID is well used in the retail industry." In 2017, the market sold a total of 12 billion tags, most of which were used in the retail industry. Other industries will also follow the retail industry to deploy and will drive further growth in the industry.
The RP can also serve as an entry point for other RFID-based solutions. NXP believes that RFID technology can also provide technology for smart travel experiences, and baggage tags can be identified in public transportation or hotels.
Another technology company that works with airlines and the airport industry is Impinj. The company's industry solutions director Wendy Werblin said that its RFID products have been deployed in some of the world's largest air transport companies. These products include Monza tag chips, as well as Speedway Revolution fixed readers and Indy reader chips and modules.
Werblin said that we can also provide custom technology to suit the use cases such as conveyors or baggage consignments. “Our ItemSense and Speedway Connect software makes it easy to integrate fixed reader RAIN data into business applications to drive operational improvements,†she said.
Werblin said: "We believe that for the RAIN RFID industry, IATA 753 represents an important opportunity. RFID technology has brought many benefits to consumers. This is an important sign of future development." She pointed out that the popularity of RFID technology will improve operations. And customer service, and save airlines billions of dollars each year.
In terms of RFID inlays, several companies are offering products to meet growing demand. Patti Blessing, vice president of business development at Alien, said that more than 40 million bags have been tagged with Alien. Alien's Squiggle and SHORT tags are designed for automatic baggage tracking, and the company's latest inlay Aviator is designed for the airline baggage tag program.
Blessing said: "These tags provide the performance needed for the usage scenario." The airline also uses Alien's H450 handheld and enterprise-class F800 readers. “As we learned from retail RFID deployments, once we deploy RFID technology, the technology is likely to expand into other operations. Therefore, applications such as airport tool and device tracking, tool calibration management and access control are also Will become a potential application area."
Lyngsoe Systems, a software and logistics solutions company, is both a supplier of baggage handling systems and a system integrator. According to Kristine Koldkjaer, product manager at Lyngsoe, a total of 1,600 Lyngsoe belt loaders were installed at 84 airports to automatically notify baggage status, speeding up loading time and reducing man hours. A major hub in Europe also uses Datalogic and Lyngsoe ATR + R barcode and RFID reader solutions to sort baggage.
The lack of infrastructure at the airport to manage tagged baggage is an obstacle to large-scale deployment. Koldkjaer said: "We have been providing solutions for airlines and airports for the past ten years and we are happy to see this barrier gradually eliminated." Lyngsoe is expanding its portfolio of RFID solutions to support more airport usage.
Pankaj Shukla, director of global RFID market development at Zebra Technologies, said Zebra Technologies provides RFID baggage handling solutions for Hong Kong International Airport and McCarran Airport and other airports. A global airline is deploying Zebra's FX7500 fixed reader and AN-480 antenna at 85 North American airports.
Shukla said: "The new FX9600 high-performance RFID reader is also designed to meet the performance and environmental requirements of similar applications. Later this year, the company plans to introduce a handheld mobile computer that supports RFID."
Dustbin:
Dustbin is a container for temporarily storing waste. In 1875, the first personal dustbin was introduced in Britain and now it becomes a kind of basic necessity in our daily life. Waste bin is suitable for using in factories, hospitals, malls, schools, households and so on. You can step on pedal to open the dustbin and close it down by damping mechanism, which can make your hands free. Seal design lid with stainless steel enhance can get rid of smell effectively. Our dustbins are made of fireproof metal material which is rust-resistant and durable. We have various of rubbish bins for your selection, with capacity ranging from 3L to 30L. In recent years, many customers asked us about dustbins and purchased a lot because of the high quality and the competitive price.
