5 Flyable/Non Flyable Application: Passage Service RFID in Baggage Handling Systems Needs for improvements in the Baggage Handling Process 2012 baggage facts*: 2.95 billion Passengers million mishandled bags 8.83 mishandled bags per 1000 passengers Reduction of mishandled bags Additional benefits are Integration of security information + new passenger services The RFID technology will play a key role for improvements in Bag drop security sorting - transfer - track & trace - baggage arrivals * source: SITA 2012 baggage report Folie 5

6 Passage Service RFID in Baggage Handling Systems The Sick Approach For a certain period existing and new infrastructure need to be equipped with hybrid systems to read bar codes and to read/write RFID tags for self bag drop systems for baggage handling systems Features: combined read rate up to 100% only one interface to the host IATA RP1740C globally applicable in all markets bar code & RFID technology from one supplier upgrade a bar code to a hybrid system Hybrid sensor solutions in self bag drop systems ALIS Hybrid for baggage handling systems Pictures: Sick Hybrid bag tag Folie 6

7 The Tactile Internet Tactile Internet Extension for Internet of Things and Mobile Internet Definition of real time applications with mobile objects Wireless control for human centered workstations 2020: 5G in the Cellular roadmap 2020: 1ms response time for Controlling Pictures and buzz word: Fettweis, Vodafone Chair TU Dresden 2013 Folie 7

8 RFID Wristband as Part of the Tactile Internet RFID transponders are read reliably while the wearers hands are kept free. Reducing steps in processes shortens cycle times. Standardized wireless interfaces are used for communication with central systems such as control centers. The glove meets the highest ergonomic standards for mobile devices. Frequency 865,6 to 867,6 MHz Standard ISO C EPCClass1Gen2 HF Power 0-15 dbm output Reading 0-0,5m distance Rechargeable 3,7V battery 2600mAh Power 350mA max. consumption Photos: Fraunhofer IFF Folie 8

10 Summary and Outlook The increasing number of new types of aircraft needs new human centered work environments and workstations with integrated Auto ID technologies to improve the visibility of process steps in aviation industry. Passage service and cargo logistics need new Auto ID technologies to handle security information and to develop new passenger services. The Tactile Internet define the vision of a real time wireless control system for human centered work environments. The RFID wristband and other handsfree human machine interfaces (HMI) are suitable to be part of the Tactile Internet. The RFID technology will play a key role for improvements in human centered workstations to increasing the visibility in aviation processes. Folie 10
