Comments on: Making RFID work – the most effective solution to lost baggage? http://www.airport-business.com/2009/03/making-rfid-work-the-most-effective-solution-to-lost-baggage/ The Leading Airport Magazine Wed, 28 Dec 2011 12:52:48 +0000 hourly 1 By: Paul Chartier http://www.airport-business.com/2009/03/making-rfid-work-the-most-effective-solution-to-lost-baggage/comment-page-1/#comment-46 Paul Chartier Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:19:11 +0000 http://www.airport-business.com/?p=937#comment-46 I was surprised to see the statement from IATA that there are many choices with RFID for baggage handling. In December 2005 IATA published its RP 1740C standard that specifies the air protocol, data set, and encoding rules for RFID for baggage handling. This was absolutely essential to achieve the interoperability for transfer baggage. The Baggage Improvement Programme is a next step towards implementation. The work by ODIN (see other comments) is about conformance of the technology. We have software products - used by IATA - for the conformance of the data, see http://www.convergent-software.co.uk/BaggageHandling.htm I was surprised to see the statement from IATA that there are many choices with RFID for baggage handling.

The study is available to all IATA members. RFID baggage systems can also be part of a certified green system as they are the first step in reducing the vast baggage tags printed on paper.
