Hong Kong Airport Chooses Intermec
Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) will be using Gen2 RFID tags from Intermec to tag baggage. The airport has already had an RFID baggage sorting system since last year - the first airport in the world to do so. The new tags will be used to enhance the system for the fifth busiest airport in the world. [via Businesswire]
A number of other airports and some airlines are already run baggage tagging trials, both to prevent baggage mishandling and loss, as well as airline disasters. HKIA's system will print out flight and baggage information as barcodes. The same data will be encoded into an Gen2 RFID chip.
