RFID-based Baggage Tracking for Lufthansa

Background
 
With the rapid development of the airline industry, how to effectively manage baggage segregation has become an important issue. Thus, the airline industry should steadily improve its ability to handle passenger luggage. Lufthansa, one of the world's leading airline company, cooperated with Chainway to deploy  URA8 Fixed Android UHF Readerto achieve intelligent management of airport baggage.
 
Challenges
 

1. The number of passenger luggage rockets brings a tremendous amount of pressure on the existing baggage handling system.

2. It is impossible to implement intelligent real-time tracking management for the entire baggage handling process. In the event of passengers' luggage loss, it becomes a tedious task to track and find it.

3. The traditional barcode scanning method requires manual comparison that is inefficient.

4. There is no efficient channel to collect baggage handling data for further analysis and management.
 

Solution
 

Lufthansa chose an intelligent baggage tracking solution based on Chainway URA8 fixed Android UHF reader. An RFID tag is attached to each luggage as the electronic identification mark, and URA8 device gets installed at the luggage monitoring point. When the luggage passes the monitoring point, the RFID reader can automatically read the RFID tag that is attached to the luggage bag. And the collected data is transmitted to the management system in real-time for dynamic management.

 
Effects
 

1. It significantly enhances the efficiency of baggage handling, thereby promoting the regulation of overall operations of the airport.

2. It enables intelligent baggage tracking, which not only allows faster luggage checking but also delivers enhanced customer satisfaction.

3. URA8 can not only perform reading at long distances but also enables bulk reading, improving the efficiency and accuracy of baggage sorting.

4. It standardizes the baggage handling process, increases the information management level of the entire airport, and enhances the overall image of the airline.
