Will Bag Tracking Tech Meet Today's Travel Needs?

Posted June 19, 2016 12:00 AM by Engineering360 eNewsletter

Delta Airlines is betting $50 million that it will. The airline plans to replace barcode hand scanning with digital, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) baggage-tracking technology. Users hope RFID scanners, coupled with the Fly Delta mobile app, will bring more transparent, interactive tracking. Bag check agents look forward to speeding up the inventory process and lowering lost luggage rates.
In a related development, Samsonite has unveiled its own "Track&Go" technology based on Bluetooth technology.

I believe Denver Airport had a bad beginnings. RFID imho will cut things shorter if all the hubs it services if the infrastructure can support it.
