The New RAIN RFID Inlay for Luggage Tagging and Supply Chain Applications

The IATA (International Air Transport Association) Board of Governors, at the 74th IATA Annual General Meeting in June 2018, mandated IATA to address passenger expectations for real time tracking of baggage. The first step is to develop a global development plan that will see IATA-standard RFID inlays in all baggage tags issued after 1 January 2020.

In direct response, Smartrac is now introducing a product that is tailored to airline baggage tracking requirements. Wings is one of the world’s smallest UHF tags for baggage tagging in the market and approved under Auburn University RFID Lab’s category U. This category relates to luggage tagging in aviation: Auburn University measures the tag performance on materials like cardboard, plastic or rubber and, as of now, lists only four inlays from three manufacturers as approved.
