RFID and digital ID for the aviation industry
In June 2019, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) decided to support the global rollout of radio frequency identification (RFID) for baggage tracking. For passengers, RFID-enabled baggage tags can reduce the likelihood of lost baggage, easing some of the stress of flying. For airlines and airports, better and easier baggage traceability leads to increased customer satisfaction, greater operational efficiency, fewer staff injuries, significant cost savings, and the prospect of increased revenue.
Operate smarter and reduce carbon emissions.
All of these goals can be addressed with digital ID technology. RAIN RFID (UHF) tags offer numerous advantages over barcodes, improving baggage tag read rates from approximately 90% to 99.9%, eliminating the need for line-of-sight readings, providing unique identification, and increasing efficiency and speed in the scanning and verification process. Avery Dennison's digital ID solutions illuminate each piece of baggage, enabling smarter operations and reduced carbon footprint.
As an officially recognized IATA Strategic Partner, Avery Dennison contributes leadership and technological innovation in the RFID field, including a range of overlays and tags suitable for airline baggage tracking requirements and other aviation-related applications.
