Gerald R. Ford International Airport has implemented an RFID-enabled tote system that tracks individual checked bags, increasing handling capacity by over 60% to nearly 1,000 bags per hour. This development marks a significant shift toward automated, item-level visibility in aviation logistics, enabling the U.S. debut of self-service bag drops while reducing the risk of lost luggage and operational bottlenecks.
