Hong Kong airport picks RFID baggage tracking
“[Hong Kong Airport] announced that to “improve customer satisfaction” a baggage tracking infrastructure using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) will be installed.
The baggage tracking system, which will be the single largest RFID deployment in Asia, will be provided by Matrics Inc., a large designer and manufacturer of EPC (electronic product code) compliant RFID systems. Based in Rockville, Maryland, Matrics was chosen by the Airport Authority Hong Kong to provide the baggage tracking systems, along with Matrics’ strategic partner, Marubeni Corporation. Revenues from reader infrastructure will total $3.5 million for Matrics.”
