RFID Streamlines Processes, Saves Tax Dollars

RFID technology has been around for more than half a century. Governments and businesses are finally reaping the rewards. Through use of RFID, airports can centralize the screening of luggage by employing a central facility that provides better security, detection, and luggage isolation, without adding to the time it takes to check luggage through to an airline. Airports can increase the effectiveness of baggage screening and security and reduce labor and maintenance costs by moving baggage sorting from many terminals to a centralized facility. Although RFID holds great potential for government agencies, it is important that they first examine their business processes to determine where and how the technology best fits into or may supplant existing processes.
