Text of Note

RFID technology can be used for identification, tracking, locating and monitoring both people and items. As the cost of the RFID technology has begun to fall, currently the baggage tracking is the field in the aviation sector where RFID has proved most useful, and is becoming widely adopted. Using RFID for passenger and baggage handling makes the processes fully automated and minimises the manual tasks made by assistants, reduces the costs for airlines, airports and operators. As the system enhances the efficiency and service level, unnecessary costs of the paper-based technology can be minimised, and the return on investment will be payback in long term. The system is faster, needs less manpower, the maintenance is cheaper and the resources can be allocated elsewhere. It is following the current trends as it is environment friendly too as it is paperless, no printing and paper is needed which is a very important issue currently in the aviation industry. Another important issue is to make the air travel more customer friendly, less time consuming, hassle free, with less queuing, but the security of the passenger must be guaranteed. Airlines want to use less space and less infrastructure of the airport to save costs. The airports are tending to use more space for retails, bars & restaurants or other facilities for customers. The RFID printing can be integrated into checkin desks, self-check-in kiosks, it is not influencing the recent trend of using less space, and allow better use of resources for airports.
