Heathrow will become the largest European airport to track passenger baggage using RFID when trials begin in September, reports VNUnet.
According to the online tech pub, the airport operator BAA will install the infrastructure on selected check-in desks to tag bags with RFID chips. Then, bags will be scanned on entry into the baggage system. BAA will compare the read rates of RFID chips with existing barcode readers.
