Baggage Handling Software
Purpose
The Baggage Handling software comprises tools tailored specifically to the RP1740C standard, and which are designed to:
- provide users and system suppliers with confidence that the most pertinent data can be stored on the chosen tag stock
- support different data configurations for different scenarios
- validate any combination of input data against:
- the ISO/IEC 15962 standard
- the RP1740C application standards
- locally defined rules for selecting optional data
- diagnose errors and inefficiencies on tags that were encoded using other software
- work standalone to provide an encoding simulation without the need of RFID tags
- integrate with the RFID system to provide an end-to-end solution
- be intuitive and easy to use

Products Overview
The Planning and modelling software allows different configurations of data elements from the RP1740C standard to be trialled with simulated encoding. This includes selecting which optional data elements to include and in which sequence they should be encoded. The software also allows tag parameters (e.g. memory capacities) to be set. The simulated encoding enables planning and modelling without the need to purchase any tags or encoding devices.
The Quality Control software provides insight into the reasons for failed tag reads. In addition, it will indicate divergence from agreed subsets and sequences of data elements, breaches of data rules (e.g. permitted characters) and failures to conform to RP1740C.
Tool Key Features
The Baggage Handling software tools have the following key features:
- The Template Builder is designed:
- to enable selection and arrangement of data on the RFID tag
- to create templates that can be used in the RFID Data Builder and RFID Data Doctor
- to enable new models to be produced to support business applications and the availability of new RFID tag products
- The RFID Data Builder is designed:
- for prototype modelling
- to support different templates for different needs, for example for single leg flights or transfer flights
- as part of a Quality Assurance system to create correctly encoded RFID tags - every time
- to advise when the RFID tag is unable to hold all the encoded variable length data more before encoding takes place
- The RFID Data Doctor is designed:
- as part of a Quality Control system for tags created at other airports
- to produce error reports that can be shared with partners to reduce future errors
- to support low volume data capture applications
