Baggage Identification and Tracking System

I&T Wish Baggage Identification and Tracking System
(REF: W-0344)
Matched I&T Solution
Trial Project
Summary and Challenges
  • Baggage is occasionally picked up by wrong passenger at the carousel of baggage reclaim hall in the airport. It would be great if any technology could help airport staff to identify and track the baggage being mistakenly picked up.
  • An indoor positioning system is necessary to help looking up and trace the baggage within the baggage reclaim hall. However, existing technologies may not provide precise position of the baggage and sensor tag to be attached on passenger’s baggage should not be large in size.
  • Advanced IoT solutions may be required to identify and trace the baggage and passenger who has taken the baggage. Airport staff were expected to receive push notification in their portable or desktop devices whenever the baggage was passing. The system shall be able to enhance the level of service in baggage lost and find.
Expected Outcome To track and identify the baggage precisely within Baggage Reclaim Hall at the airport. The system shall be able to trace the baggage within the baggage reclaim hall area.
Expected Trial Duration 12-month
