Radio frequency identification (RFID) provider Tagsys has partnered with airport logistics firm ICM Airport Technics to produce end-to-end bag drop systems for the aviation industry.
The systems include a RFID permanent bag tags and self-service systems enabling fast bag dropping for international flights.
The permanent bag tag proposed by Tagsys will be processed by ICM’s Self-Service Bag Drop.
In order to be used internationally at airports that do not already have an RFID infrastructure, the future tag will include an electronic-paper-based display providing visual data such as the flight number, owner name and possibly a bar code.
The bag drop system is the result of the work Tagsys and ICM performed on the Qantas Airway Next Generation Check-In project.
ICM Airport Technics developed the Self-Service Bag Drop solution for this project, which is now implemented at all Qantas Hubs in Australia.
Tagsys developed the reusable Q Bag Tag, an RFID tag without display that can store the details of up to four flights, and can be reprogrammed for future flights.
Qantas deployed the tags in conjunction with contactless loyalty cards that can be used as permanent boarding passes to speed self check-in.
