Updated: The airport will test chipless RFID tags and a tracking system that monitor passengers and their baggage through to their final destination.
Boston's Logan International Airport has agreed to allow a pilot project funded by Boston Engineering and Inkode Corp. to demonstrate chipless RFID technology that tracks customers and their baggage from arrival to final destination.
Resource Library:
Boston Engineering will utilize Vienna, Va.-based Inkode's CRIS (Chipless Remote Identification System) technology as the basis for the pilot program.
Dubbed SEATS, or Secure Environment for Airport Terminal Systems, the project is actually a collaboration that combines Inkode's passive, disposable wireless tracking device with a baggage tracking system developed by Boston Engineering.
