Expect lesser lost baggage at airports with the latest RFID software

Filed in archive Implementation on April 18, 2008

Globally more than 34 million baggages are lost every year at airports and this is a fact. Even though airlines have started implementing RFID for improvement in baggage tracking but one real problem the airline authorities face is with regards to distinguishing between two tags. After realizing the complexity of the problem Alien Technology has come up with software for the tag readers. This is expected to make the job at the airport pretty easy as it offers information with regards to the position and velocity of tags thereby helping to differentiate between luggages being tracked. Earlier it led to more confusion for the authorities who would end up pulling out their hair.

Using this software it will not only be possible to differentiate between different baggages but even collect information with regards to the destination of the luggage and whether it has to undergo custom check or not. This free update is available for ALR-8800, ALR-9800 and ALR-9900 models and includes flexible reader distance with a range of 100 feet.
