Smart Airports: Sensor-based Baggage Tracking

Why watch this?

June 28th, 9 AM PDT: join the GE and Altoros webinar to learn how airlines can eliminate passenger dissatisfaction from mishandled bags and create personalized customer experience with a complete edge-to-cloud solution to meet a real world need in the airline industry.

25 million checked bags get delayed, damaged, or lost every year. It results in growing customers dissatisfaction and an urgent need to create better passenger experience via prompt delivery of luggage. Moreover, the new standards imposed by  IATA Resolution 753 will require all Airlines to have an end-to-end baggage custody information by June 2018. It is a responsibility of each airline to build or acquire a solution for achieving the goal. 

Join this webinar to learn how airlines can increase passenger satisfaction and eliminate the current challenges of baggage mishandling. You will introduced to an end-to-end baggage tracking solution powered by GE Predix, an Industrial cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).

You will discover the specifics of an RFID sensor-based baggage system that tracks the flow of bags inside and between airports. Passengers can see the location and status of their bags at every moment of their journey. Deployed in the Predix Cloud, the system scales automatically when the amount of data grows, provides high level of security, smart alerts, and real-time analytics.

Why join the webinar:

• Discover how airlines can reduce costs, improve customer experience, and decrease departure delays
• Learn how to create personalized customer experience with real-time RFID-based baggage tracking
• Find out how airlines are tapping into the Internet of Things using GE Predix
• Explore opportunities to sell additional customer services, such as remote bag check-in/pickup and more
