Boston Engineering Develops Chipless Baggage Tracking system

Called SEATS, for Secure Environment for Airport Terminal Systems, the project combines passive disposable wireless tracking technology with a hardware tracking system designed to improve airport baggage identification and tracking security.

The project's wireless remote tracking system is based on Inkode's long-range passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, which as a chipless system can withstand exposure to static electricity generated by baggage conveyors and baggage scanning systems.

The proposed tracking system hardware includes a secure wireless system that keeps all information linked in a continual flow, from arrival to final destination.

Boston Engineering expects to develop additional industry applications for RFID technology for retail, commercial and other security uses.
