RFID in airports and baggage handling - tracking and process control
Speed, reliability and traceability are key in airport processes. RFID supports baggage and asset tracking, automates checkpoints and improves flow data quality. UHF makes it possible to read multiple tags and build a consistent history of events in the process.
RFID applications in baggage handling and airport logistics
RFID allows you to identify units and record events at subsequent points in the process. This facilitates exception detection, improves traceability and reporting.
- Identification and tracking of baggage at checkpoints.
- Event log automation and exception analysis.
- Tracking of logistics carriers and assets (containers, carts).
- Verify completeness and routing in the process.
RFID tags and read stability in the process
Label selection, mounting and reading point geometry all affect efficiency. In high throughput processes, pilot testing and optimization of settings are important.
- UHF labels and badge serialization.
- Matching the speed and flow through the reading point.
- Quality control: reports and detection of nonconformities.
Reading points: gates, antennas and selectivity
In airports, it is important to limit readings from outside the zone. This is achieved through antenna geometry, shielding and power control. The design of the reading point determines stability and selectivity.
- Selective reading in the process zone.
- Match antennas and settings to bandwidth.
- Minimize false reads and exceptions.
Integration and event reporting
The RFID badge maps to a baggage/storage record. Readings create events that can be reported and analyzed. A consistent data model is the foundation of process quality.
- Event history and traceability.
- Exception and non-compliance reports.
- Serialization and label encoding report.
