No more lost luggage at airports. No more lost money of airports and airplanes. No more time and nerves lost by passengers. Use RFID to monitor and track baggage in real time as it is successfully tested all around the world way for improving passengers services as well as filling strict norm imposed by IATA in 753 resolution.

1. SAFE LANDING FOR LUGGAGE:
SMART RFID for airports

2. Lost luggage – one of the biggest problem of
every airport.
Only in 2015, over 23 millions of bags
and suitcases were lost or mishandled.
1 disappointing surprise of lost luggage
happens to 1 of 150 passengers.
6,5 suitcases are lost for every 1000
passengers.

3. How is baggage lost?
It doesn’t take much.
Just
• typical employee’s omission,
• small damage of barcode,
• unfortunate baggage placing on line,
• too big gap between barcode and
scanner.
Majority of lost luggace cases results from employees’ mistakes.
These are the errors that can be eiminated.

Mistakes at luggage check-in
Luggage load failures
Mistakes at luggage load
Mistakes at luggage reclaim
Restrictions on luggage weight / Airport regulations
Luggage swap
Wrong tagging

6. Lost baggage = lost:
• money needed for an extra baggage transfer
and amends for passenger,
• good brand image of airport and/or airline,
• passenger’s time and patience.

7. Is it really impossible to solve baggage problem?
Does such delicate issue have to rely on risky barcodes?
Should the fate of passenger’s baggage depend on correct baggage barcode
scan?
Is there no possibility for real-time baggage tracking?

THE UNSOLVABLE PROBLEM?

8. RFID: (R)EVOLUTION IS IN THE AIR
RFID technology uses radio waves
for immediate, precise group
identification of even hundreds of
tags at once.
It is the last and most perfect
chain in the identification
development.
It has no disadvantages of
previous solutions, while offering
a completely new quality.

9. RFID technology is used at airport for a decade. And despite the growth of passengers number, it brings
positive results.

10. 97% passengers own mobile device.
66% of them claim that they would use mobile application to track their baggage.
66% airlines declare implementing such feature in 2017.
Answer to passengers’ expectations…

11. IATA 753 Resolution (International Air
Transport Association) imposes on all airlines
the duty of monitoring of EVERY baggage since
check-in to reclaim.
IATA recommends RFID technology as the
most suitable for implementing 753
Resolution.
…and law regulations
TECHNOLOGY ON THE RISE

12. Aerospace experts agree: not only has RFID already succeeded in bringing
improvements at airports, but it has also still a lot to offer for further optimizations of
airport processes.
In 2007-2016 RFID helped to reduce 50% of lost luggage. It is equal to 22,4 bln $
savings.
To 2022, RFID may decrease the percentage of lost luggage by 25%.
Aerospace industry will save over 3 bln dollars.
Promising forecasts

13. Advantages from implementing RFID:
processes optimization: check-in, search,
transfer and reclaim,
fast and accurate data acquisition,
match with regulations on passengers’ safety
and comfort.

14. The great advantage of RFID is automatic identification of even up to several
hundreds items at once.
Technology needs only 1 second for this.
IDENTIFICATION ON THE FLY
BAGGAGE TRACKING
No need for separate
identification of every single
suitcase or bag.
Mass-scale identification is
done automatically.

15. RFID allows for identification of objects or items that are moving at
several kilometers per hour.
RFID will work perfectly fine for error-free recognition of
suitcases and bags placed:
in sorting
on line in baggage reclaim
on trolley.

16. RFID technology allows for baggage identification from 8 meters.
No more need for visual contact between reader and baggage.
It is possible to track any baggage in real time.
At any moment every suitcase can be
localized.
To find it, only smartphone is needed.

17. To enjoy RFID advantages, only these parts are needed:
CLEARED FOR LAUNCH
DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY OF RFID SYSTEM
RFID tags used on baggage or
airport inventory
RFID reader (fixed and mobile) RFID antennas

20. Delta Airlines allows passengers to mark their own baggage with RFID tags.
By investing 50 mln $ in 4600 scanners, 3800 RFID printers and 600 RFID portals at 344 airports, this airline
wants to provide its passengers with maximum comfort.

21. AirFrance KLM uses tags for tracking baggages in real time.
Both passengers and staff always know, where suitcase and bag is.

22. Quantas Airways implemented board cards with RFID tags.
Service customer was accelerated (from 10 to 2,5 minutes) and effectively linked baggage with its owner.
Thanks to that, airline staff makes less mistakes with baggage mishandling or losing it.

23. Jetstar Australia installs RFID tags in life vests, put under passengers’ seats.
Steward should only walk through aisle to be certain that all life vests are on board.

24. With RFID it is possible to perform stock-taking of:
• vehicles and devices used by airport staff;
• aerospace parts.
SOUND-SPEED STOCK-TAKING
EVERYTHING ON ITS PLACE

25. Boening 737 has tags installed on aerospace parts so stack-taking is easy and parts tracking can be launched at
any time.
The supply chain flexibility has increased while the costs of service and maintance – have decreased.
