IATA resolution 753 tracking

Comprehensive baggage tracking

Lyngsoe Systems, an IATA strategic partner, possesses the expertise required to assist airlines and airports in complying with this innovative resolution. The RFID Baggage Handling and Tracking Solution developed by Lyngsoe Systems empowers IATA members to capture baggage tracking data at all the specified tracking points within the resolution.

Cost-efficent compliance

Lyngsoe Systems believes that adopting RFID Baggage Handling and Tracking is the most economical means of achieving compliance with IATA Resolution 753. This approach involves scanning at each of the four designated tracking points, utilizing cost-effective scanning equipment, reducing manpower requirements, and minimizing operational expenses.

Baggage Acquisition from passengers

The initial obligatory tracking point outlined in Resolution 753 involves tracing the acquisition of baggage from passengers. This process is streamlined and automated with the RFID Baggage Handling and Tracking Solution. At self-service bag drop points, the BagDrop Reader automatically scans and generates evidence of baggage acquisition from the passenger to the carrier.

Baggage delivery to aircraft

The Belt Loader Reader seamlessly registers baggage as it enters and exits the aircraft, providing data that confirms the delivery of baggage to the airplane and evidence of custody change. This data, collected during the loading process, also serves as evidence for the baggage inventory upon flight departure. The scanning procedure can be fully automated, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

Custody transfer between carriers

Given the custody change that occurs at transfer hubs, it is imperative to conduct baggage scanning during transfers. The Lyngsoe LIVE Logistics™ Sortation Reader or the Lyngsoe LIVE Logistics™ Pier and Claim Reader, integrated with the Baggage Handling System (BHS) and Baggage Reconciliation System (BRS), accurately record custody changes within the baggage handling system during transfers.

Baggage delivery to passengers

A frequently overlooked scanning point in the current baggage tracking process is the scanning of bags upon arrival. Using barcode scanners for automated arrival scanning can be challenging, as the handling process may crumple barcode baggage tags, resulting in low read rates. This issue is non-existent with RFID technology, which does not require a direct line of sight and can read even crumpled or concealed baggage labels. Upon arrival at the final destination, the Pier and Claim Reader, located just before the claim carousel, automatically provide the last requisite tracking point: the handover to the passenger, thereby concluding the baggage journey.

Initiating baggage handling process improvement

Selecting the appropriate tracking technology is crucial for acquiring the necessary data to fulfill the requirements of Resolution 753. Once the suitable data capture platform is established, the subsequent step involves data sharing between carriers. IATA Resolution 753 signifies only the initial stride toward enhancing the baggage handling process. With the tracking platform in place, airlines can harness a plethora of supplementary advantages, including heightened capacity and improved passenger services.
