Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
With an RFID luggage tracking system, RFID baggage tags featuring a radio frequency identification chip are fitted to bags when they are checked in. Passengers are then given access to an integrated app, allowing them to track the location of their bag throughout their journey, until they arrive at their destination. The airline will have access to data from the RFID tag for tracking at their side too.
RFID baggage tracking can be used at any busy transport hub, whether it’s an airport, train station, or coach station. Anywhere where large numbers of bags are handled and processed can benefit from the use of RFID baggage tags.
There are multiple advantages to using an RFID baggage tracking system, including improved security, faster baggage processing, and enhanced passenger experience. One of the key benefits of RFID baggage tracking for airlines is that it can help to reduce expenditure on lost luggage compensation and rerouting.
Typically, passengers are given access to an app that’s connected to their RFID baggage card or tag, which enables them to see exactly where their luggage is throughout its journey for peace of mind.
