Baggage Checked-in with RFID at HKIA
 An RFID-enabled Sorter Monitoring System to
enhance the existing system in the monitoring and
controlling of baggage sorting and loading
processes
 Benefits achieved
♦ Customer service with transparent operation and
accurate baggage delivery
♦ Enhanced operational efficiency and capacity of BHS
 Deployment experience
♦ About 40,000 bags, 90% of all departing bags, from
around 50 airlines use the new baggage tags each
day
♦ Improved read-rate: accuracy reaches 97% vs 80% by
barcode only
