Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a type of remote communication that fuses the
utilization of electrostatic or electromagnetic coupling in the radio frequency part of the
electromagnetic range to uniquely identify a product, animal or individual (Lahiri, 2005). The
system was adopted as a method for solving both the tracking proof and identification needs. In
the international transport industry, the rivalry is ferocious as organizations become
multinational and global conglomerates. Airlines, ships, and cross-border highways and railways
record large volumes of both non-human and human transportation, and such huge figures bring
about tracking and identification headaches for organizations as they endeavor to meet their
clients' needs. Merchandise in transit has a tendency to get lost in heaps of baggage, creating an
issue for both the business and the client.
In the past, a few technologies have been utilized to track and identify baggage and
people on transit. One such system was the barcode technology; a series of unique numbers that
uniquely distinguish every package. While this system might be useful in the identification of
items, it has now and then been found wanting with regards to tracking (Lahiri, 2005).
To solve this, RFID was adopted as a method for tackling both the tracking and the
identification needs (Lee & Chan, 2009). The framework is made out of two essential units; a
receiver and a tag. A tag is a gadget that contains a tiny, programmable, and inexpensive chip
that is connected to the item in transit. This gadget is a memory unit that includes unique data
about the baggage, and the transponder transmits that data to a receiver. Therefore, when the
commodity or baggage goes through a magnetic reader, the information about the product is
retrieved and captured through the transponder. This data does not just identify what the item is
and who the owner is, but it additionally gives data in regards to the items' point of departure.
