Extendable to Passenger Profiling
Can be Integrated with other systems like CCTV systems more successfully

11. RFID Based system scalability
With same infrastructure, system can be expanded to transfer bags
The same system upgraded can be used along with future IATA e-tags
The same infrastructure can be used for trolley tracking, people tracking, asset tracking and any other RFID enabled tracking systems.
