RFID has several goals: Reduce number of mishandled bags >Increase throughput of bags in the handling system >Improve baggage process visibility to airlines and handlers Put focused attention on locations where responsibility for baggage is handed over Increase security through an improved reconciliation process Minimize need for manual encoding due to completely automated system RFID will have directly an impact in customers: "The RFID solution will be the platform for a completely new way of thinking and providing passenger services"(Lynsoe System).
