Netherlands-based technology company DS Tags has launched DS Bagtag, claimed to be the world’s first secure electronic bag tag for the aviation industry.
Checked-in bags are still fitted with a so-called thermal paper bag tag; a complex composite of chemicals, paper and plastic that is wasted after each trip.
DS Tags says over the past year alone the aviation industry issued approximately 3.3 billion thermal paper bag tags. Its new bag tag is claimed to deliver an estimated 85 per cent faster baggage drop-off process at the airport.
A spokesperson for DS BagTags said the DS bagTag comprises a secure electronic bag tag device, a secure cloud-based travel document delivery platform and a dedicated smartphone app for storing travel documents and transferring bag tag data to the BagTag device.
"The device features a single, custom built, 4.0” E-paper display. The optimised barcode presented on the display and the integrated RFID UHF chip allows the BagTag to be used at any airport now and in the future and as such has no impact on airport infrastructures. Equally important, the tag’s superior readability will result in less lost luggage and improve operational efficiency,”DS said.
