Keep track of your luggage thanks to bTag experience

Brussels Airport offers its passengers an extra service for a short time now, offering the possibility to track their luggage upon arrival at the airport: the bTag experience.

The bTag is a label or tag that the passenger can attach to his bag(s). Upon arrival of the flight at Brussels Airport, the traveller will be informed – via the corresponding app – when his bag will be available, and which luggage carousel he has to make his way to. The bTag will be scanned at key moments throughout the handling process. If desired, the passenger can also receive the information via SMS or by e-mail.

bTag informs the passenger about the status of his luggage, and allows him – after landing at the airport – to spend his time in a pleasant way without waiting at the luggage carousel.

Aucxis’ role

Brussels Airport decided to engage Impinj because of the elaborate technological capabilities of their RAIN RFID platform. Next, Impinj asked Aucxis to provide them with our ‘expertise in the solution’s fine design, its deployment and pilot execution’, which makes Aucxis a technical partner of Brussels Airport in the realisation of this project.

Aucxis has provided the necessary detection points at each luggage carousel in order to be able to track the bags. In this way, we can detect the tag, which belongs to a certain bag, and send these data to the bTag app.
