In 2013, Sergey Tsybouk, founder of the Longest Chance offered to IATA an effective concept
of RFID-based solution to tackle problems with global baggage mishandling.
The Longest Chance is a strategic IATA & ACI partner focused on implementing IATA’s
Resolution 753.
Currently our company together with IATA implements the pilot project in 4 airoports in
Europe for 2 airlines.
What is the Longest Chance?

4. ABOUT US
Our mission is to create global RFID infrastructure in the airoports worlwide available for all
airlines.
IATA considers such an aproach as the most relevant and efficient for the entire industry.
What is our mission?
- “in the following 10 years air industry’s total loss will come up
to 25$ billion. Let's change the future together. (based on SITA
statistics for previous 10 years) Sergey Tsybouk,
CEO & Founder

5. RESOLUTION 753:
BAGGAGE TRACKING
PSC(34)xxxx Expiry: Indefinite
Type:
Effective: June 2018
RESOLVED that:
IATA members shall maintain an accurate inventory of baggage by monitoring the acquisition and delivery of baggage.
Purpose
Accurate baggage inventories will:
- prevent and reduce mishandling by determining custody of every bag during different phases of baggage chain,
- increase passenger satisfaction, as mishandling is reduced,
- reduce the possibility of baggage fraud by closing the baggage journey,
- enable exceptions to be detected where baggage is delivered to a party, but not processed further,
- speed up reconciliation and flight readiness for departing flights,
- help measuring compliance to SLAs,
- Provide evidence to an automatic interline proration process.
Member Obligations
Members shall be able to:
- Demonstrate Delivery, of baggage when custody changes;
- Demonstrate acquisition, of baggage when custody changes;
- Provide an inventory of bags, upon departure of a flight.
- Be capable of exchanging these events with other airlines as needed
The minimum set of custody changes shall be:
Delivery of the bag to the passenger (delivery is by the handler, acquisition is by the arrivals facility, such as an arrivals belt, the passenger’s
home, etc.)
Delivery of the bag to the aircraft (delivery is by the handler, acquisition is by the flight)
Delivery of the bag to an airline system (delivery is by the handler, acquisition is by the airline system)

8. OUR RFID SOLUTION

9. Our main product is the “ERFID Communication Server”.
ERFID Communication Server is the middleware providing
IT-systems interaction with the customer's RFID
infrastructure equipment.
ERFID Communication Server allows creating a plug-and-
play hardware ecosystem with a uniform abstraction of
the final device and management. This enables
management of unlimited number of RFID equipment and
sensors using the administrator console as a single point
of entry and administration.
Today ERFID Communication Server supports a wide range
of equipment from leading manufacturers, and the list is
constantly updated. Support of international standard
LLRP (Low Level Reader Protocol) ensures compatibility
with all equipment that supports this standard.
In addition to the widest hardware support of EPC Gen2
(ISO 18000-6), in ERFID Communication Server supports
hardware active RFID, HF- equipment and the external
sensors. This allows using ERFID Communication Server as
the basis for creation of complex systems using the full
range of automatic identification technologies to solve
various tasks of your business.

10. A distinctive feature of ERFID Communications Server is the use of unique algorithms
reading labels. Each logical reader is configured depending on the task, and uses the
optimal set of parameters for interrogation reader and tags.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Advantages of ERFID Communication Server.
High quality reading RFID-tags
Built in ERFID Communications Server data filtering algorithms allow readers to cut
off all unnecessary data and transmit to the accounting system only significant
events, which significantly reduces the burden on the user system.
Efficient data processing
The ability to create logical reader also allows you to use one RFID - Reader with 4
antenna inputs for equipment to do 4 independent jobs, which significantly reduces
the number of required equipment.

11. “HAND-TO-HAND
BAGGAGE” RFID SYSTEM
Pilot project

12. “HAND-TO-HAND BAGGAGE” SYSTEM
With support of IATA the pilot project starts in August, 2015.
Participants:
(Sheremetyevo
international airport)
(Aeroflot)
 Provide an airport view of the baggage flow from check-in to the destination airport
 Be fully compliant with IATA resolutions and recommened practices
 Be a key component of the standard IATA baggage Services SLA components between airlines and
airports
Project goals:

13. Key Features and Benefits
Each airport terminal has its own characteristics (different roof racks, different levels of automation,
weak points and bottlenecks, etc).
Regardless of any features, our system is able to ensure a total control over all areas of baggage
movement along the terminal, between terminals, between airports. The system is able to reliably
monitor all movements of the baggage sent, transferred and arrived.
Key Features and Benefits
flexible solutions for
improving baggage operations
The system can be quickly deployed in separate
terminals or entire airport.
The system is proactive. Capable in real time to
automatically report real time errors that occur
thus enabling them to quickly recover.
The system is capable of processing large volumes of data, performing analysis, and providing
necessary statistics.
Flexible integration with local and remote airline and airport IT systems.

14. “HAND-TO-HAND BAGGAGE” SYSTEM
System deployment in 4 airports
• 16 points of control are additionally equipped with tracking system elements on the full way from check-
in until loading the baggage to ULD in terminal “E” of Sheremetyevo airoport (SVO), Moscow
• Integration is done with “Arinc” DCS
• In other 3 airports bag arrival points of control are equipped with the tracking system.
4 points in Sheremetyevo airoport (SVO) Moscow
