AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands – September 13th, 2022 

BagsID today announced the successful deployment in the Aeroporti di Roma Innovation Hub incubator programme, created in partnership with LVenture Group. The incubator program, which took place at Rome Fiumicino Airport, provides a platform for innovative startups to demonstrate their ideas and technologies to stakeholders in the aviation industry. 

BagsID showcased their new mobile recognition app and its future use for baggage biometrics. The roadmap of the incubator programme for Aeroporti Di Roma, includes mounting frames and cameras for image acquisition in the Baggage Handling System of Rome Fiumicino Airport.  

Airport staff were able to use the BagsID app to scan a set of test bags. The revolutionary image recognition technology provided feedback on the bag’s last known location and showed pictures of that exact bag in the Baggage Handling System – proving its unrivaled matching capabilities.  

Emanuele Calà, Vice President of Innovation and Quality at Aeroporti di Roma, said: “What BagsID is developing is a revolutionAt AdR, we believe in the future of baggage biometrics and the possibilities that will revolutionize the way baggage will travel. Not only will this benefit the way passengers travel but it will also deliver a significant improvement in our handling processes and reliability of our airport.” 

Dave Bakker, Chief Executive Officer at BagsID, said: “We are thankful for the leadership role that Aeroporti di Roma has taken with their incubator programme and we are delighted to have been able to demonstrate our innovative capabilities in improving the baggage process through the use of AI enhanced computer vision technology. We look forward working together with Aeroporti di Roma to deploy the next steps in our proof of concept.”
