RFID baggage sorting technology helps airport efficiency increase by 2 times

Through the baggage handling system, airlines can effectively solve most of the problems of misloading and misdelivering checked baggage, and significantly reduce the amount of compensation for lost baggage. Airlines can use the RFID system to take precautions and prepare for customer baggage problems in advance. In addition, the RFID system can also use the customer's mobile phone to inform the customer how long it will take to pick up the luggage in the form of a signal, thus improving customer satisfaction.

RFID baggage sorting technology process:

In the past, baggage sorting technology at the airport was implemented through barcode recognition technology. So, what is the process?

1. At the check-in counter, the luggage is labeled with a barcode.

2. After security check, the baggage is transported to the entrance of the baggage handling system.

This is the main basic process, but a problem arises. After the baggage enters the sorting system, the barcode label is often blocked or the angle with the code reader is too large, resulting in the barcode not being scanned, causing the baggage to be stranded.

As a result, more and more airports have begun to use RFID radio frequency identification technology that is superior to barcode identification technology.

1. First of all, when checking in, your luggage will be tied with a white card RFID tag like a work badge or an inlay RFID tag that replaces the barcode tag.

2. A UHF RFID Reader and four antennas will be used in the system to form a full 360-degree coverage.

3. In this way, the reading and writing device can sense the electronic tag through radio frequency signals and obtain the tag information.

How is baggage sorting at the airport implemented using RFID technology?

After reading this, I believe you who are very curious will ask, why can't barcode recognition technology do it, but RFID radio frequency identification technology can do it?

Then, let me give you the answer!

The reason is very simple, that is: RFID radio frequency identification technology is non-contact, that is, the RFID ultra-high frequency reader does not need to touch the tag to read the tag within the specified range.

What are the advantages of RFID technology in baggage sorting technology?

1. Scan quickly

Barcode scanning is a one-to-one correspondence, and UHF RFID readers can identify and read multiple RFID electronic tags at the same time.

2. Small size and diversified shapes

The reading of RFID technology is not limited by size and shape, and does not need to match the fixed size and printing quality of the paper for reading accuracy.

3. Strong anti-pollution ability and durability

Traditional barcode carriers are paper, which is susceptible to contamination, while RFID tags Store data in chips, so they are protected from contamination.

4. Reusability

Most barcodes cannot be changed after they are printed. RFID tags can repeatedly add, modify, and delete the data stored in the RFID tag to facilitate information updates.

5. Penetrating and barrier-free reading

When covered, RFID can penetrate non-metallic or non-transparent materials such as paper, wood and plastic, and can communicate penetratingly. The barcode scanner must be at a close distance and not blocked by objects before it can read the barcode.

6. Security

Since RFID carries electronic information, its data content can be protected by password, making its content difficult to be forged and altered.
