IBM will provide a baggage management system to control and track each bag using robot-handling software and RFID, Information Week correspondent K.C. Jones reported this morning.

IBM also will provide consulting services, hardware, software, and application development for the project, which is taking place in the Netherlands.

“Airports and airlines see improved baggage handling as a major step towards increasing passenger satisfaction,” Charles Vincent, director of IBM Travel and Transport Europe, said in a statement. “The efficiencies of the new system will cut down operating costs and improve transfer connection times for passengers at Schiphol.”
