This webinar was an introduction to the IATA RFID priority, including RFID benefits, the IATA RFID roadmap and the IATA standard for RFID.
It covered why IATA decided to move forward with RFID as the best mechanism for airlines to adopt Resolution 753 on baggage tracking and for the industry to address passengers’ expectations and reduce baggage mishandling, driven by the concern that the continued use of barcode-only infrastructure presents a restriction to the anticipated baggage growth (which is expected to double) in the next decade.
In order to achieve the target of having all baggage tags equipped with RFID inlays, IATA has launched a comprehensive roadmap that includes educating and raising awareness on RFID in the industry, aligning all key stakeholders involved and developing tools and materials to support the global roll out.
The webinar revealed why RFID is the right solution at the right time for the industry, offering operational flexibility, ease of deployment and interoperability with other existing technologies as per the IATA standard on RFID.
