Baggage handling is being revolutionized by RFID technology which compared to bar code systems delivers a substantial increase in accuracy. RFID tagging not only provides real-time tracking to reduce the time spent locating lost baggage, it supports customer loyalty by minimizing the number of customers who suffer the inconvenience.
RFID is also used in postal environments to improve item tracking during sorting and delivery. Because RFID doesn’t require a line of sight for information transfer, postal items can be routed without concerns over their physical orientation. RFID technology reduces the time it takes to process mail bags and boxes because the tags can be tracked automatically as they move through various points in the processing cycle. Multiple items can be read simultaneously.
