TSA worldwide RFID Trial History During the 1999 - 2006, a number of trials have been conducted between airports, airlines and manufacturers. The main results are summarized in the following table.

RFID Inlay Inserted into current paper baggage tag stock used by ANA Very thin, flexible read/write passive inlay containing antenna circuit and a silicon chip where data is stored 256 bits of available memory
ASTREC stands for "Advanced Airport Systems Technology Research Consortium" The purpose of ASTREC is to promote the use of RFID technology in an airport environ-
handling, in a further diverse and advanced information-based society
RFID Inflight services included 1. Catering Equipment: All rotatable equipment used for catering including trolleys, boxes, ovens, etc 2. Trolley: Container on wheels (trolley, cart, etc.) 3. Box: Container carried by hand (carrier, canister, stowage unit, etc.) FAA AC 20-162 on board RFID standard (Inflight) UHF RFID reader
Main challenges the Airline facing today
actually have and where
from kitchens
Industry level representing an investment of around US $ 1 billion
IATA has performed in 2007 various tests on several RFID technologies: UHF, LF and HF. The UHF passive solution has shown the best performances, particularly with the RFID tag directly mounted on the trolley metal with a read at more than 2 meters of distance. The trolley can be also moved rapidly. A draft Recommended Practice has been produced by the end of 2007 Use of an RFID Tag (UHF passive, 96 bits Class1-gen2). This Recommended Practice is reviewed with airlines and caterers at the end of 2008.
Warm tags immediately after leaving the washing machine (80 degrees) Cold tags 30 minutes after washing (20 degrees)
hour at minus 18 degrees Celsius This was repeated 5 times in the morning, 5 times in the afternoon, for 2 days. (5+5)x2=20 times. RFID tags already mounted on 1,100 trolleys RFID Class-1 Gen 2 tags mounted on trolleys
In 2007, A&D China, Siemens and SLC China IL engineers discussed and researched for a RFID solution for the Wuhan Tianhe Airport BHS. In the end, the conclusion was to design to a RFID tunnel, using hardware and software from Siemens A&D (Siemens Automation and Drives ).
Requirements
RFID Read Rate: Minimum successful read rate: 98% Conveyor Speed: Up to 3m/s speed of RFID conveyor, RFID reading without stop of conveyor RFID Reader: Interface: 10/100BaseT Ethernet or IEEE 802.11g RFID frequency: between 850Mhz and 950Mhz Supported standard: ISO-15691; ISO-18000-6-C; ISO-15692 Reusable RFID Tag: Wuhan Airport implements an island solution, the tag cannot be read at
saves approx. 250,000 USD per year
HJAIA 2009 activity with IATA RFID Committee
In 2009 IATA form a task team with-in 1740c Baggage Work Group to start a Global RFID Baggage Tag Purchasing Project that hope to consolidate most
price guaranty. Project approach and methodologies are: Phase 1 – Define the technical benchmark
Phase 2 – Global supplies selection process

After summarizing test data for Phase I and II we can conclude the following: Alien ALN-9640, Avery AD-833 and UPM Short Dipole are the top performers IER FF95-8 and Smartrac SMT L-155 exhibited lower overall performance The IER FF95-8 showed some inconsistency in Phase 1 testing
