Wednesday, May 19, 2010

Companies and Markets, an industry research analyst, recently published a report on the future market forecast for RFID technology in the airline industry.

The company notes that RFID technology can serve to airports and aircraft by improving security against criminal attack, safety against general hazards, efficiency, error prevention and data capture and to remove tedious tasks.

It can even create new earning streams where it makes tolling feasible without causing congestion and where new airport touch and go cards offer new paid services without delays.


The report evaluates a variety of applications, including airline baggage tagging, reducing waste in food trolleys, and improving cargo and freight tracking.

The cost on RFID systems, including tags, exclusively for the air industry (i.e. omitting passports, visas, general credit and debit cards etc) is included in this report.
