Never lose your luggage again with RFID technology

Losing your luggage at an airport might soon be a thing of the past, thanks to the introduction of a technology that tracks your baggage in real time. The global deployment of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, which can accurately track passengers' baggage in real time across key points in the journey, can enable the air transport industry to save more than $3 billion over the next seven years. Global IT provider Sita and the International Air Transport Association (Iata) revealed that the highly accurate tracking rates of RFID technology could reduce the number of mishandled bags by up to 25 per cent by 2022.
