Airport RFID Services Baggage Handling Process

Hong Kong International Airport will implement Avery's RFID tag in its baggage tracking process, with the goal of improving the customer experience. ...

... "Unlike bar code-only tags, which require the scanner to be in the line-of-sight to read the tag, the AD-833 RFID tag, specifically designed around aviation needs, can be read at long distances without line-of-sight in any orientation. RFID systems are also more reliable, achieving average read-rates of more than 97 percent, much better than a barcode-only system’s average of 80 percent. As a result, RFID tags allow more accurate tracking of baggage through HKIA’s baggage system. By empowering timely and accurate checked bag deliveries to the planes, airlines and passengers experience more on-time departures. In addition, the system reduces misdirected bags resulting in improved customer service. " ...

RFID Retail Solution Named Enterprise Best

Portuguese fashion retailer, Throttleman, is recognized by the EHI Retail Institute, a global retail trade association, as the Best Enterprise Solution for its use of RFID technology to drive efficiencies in its supply chain logistics. ...

... "Integrating an RFID infrastructure has enabled Throttleman to increase the efficiency of its distribution center by 60% and ensures that stock is quickly and accurately routed to the appropriate stores. Affixed with Avery Dennison RFID labels, items are shipped from Throttleman's manufacturing plant in India to their distribution center in Portugal. Upon arrival, TAGSYS' UHF RFID tunnel identifies and counts the content of each box with scan rates of up to 18,000 articles per hour. Comparing the list of scanned items to the packing slip, TAGSYS' UHF RFID tunnel automatically identifies discrepancies and generates an alert to check content. This reduces the amount of time items remain in Throttleman’s distribution center from 4.9 days to less than 24 hours, thereby quickly and accurately replenishing a store's inventory. Systems integrator, Creative Systems, was chosen by Throttleman to define and install an RFID system to improve efficiencies throughout their supply chain. Creative Systems selected TAGSYS for its expertise in item-level RFID infrastructure systems, and Avery Dennison to supply the RFID labels. " ...
