The new airport in Bangkok features pioneering RFID technology.

New Bangkok International Airport has selected Intermec, a supply chain technology vendor, to supply an RFID and barcode system throughout its Cargo Free Zone.

The recently opened airport in Suvarnabhumi, Thailand, which is now the largest in Southeast Asia, features an NBIA Cargo Free Zone IT project, with some of the most up-to-date technology in the region.

This includes a RFID Customs Free Zone management system, where RFID will be used to track incoming and out coming goods in the cargo warehouse and terminal.

"Intermec is proud to be a part of the Cargo Free Zone system of New Bangkok International Airport," said Piyarat Srivaranon, Thailand country manager of Intermec.

"The project will be the largest RFID system in Southeast Asia and will provide faster monitoring of cargo locations and tracking of movements in the Zone," he added.

Intermec bar code printers and readers to monitor cargo are also used throughout the Cargo Free Zone, complementing the RFID system. Cargo cars entering terminals have RFID tags attached while their loads have bar code labels, which are read using Intermec's bar code readers.

"AMR Asia Company Limited is proud to be the most important and pioneering implementer of this new technology with the RFID system for Cargo Free Zone of New Bangkok International Airport," said Visith Somboon, president of AMR Asia Company Limited, systems integrator for the project and an Intermec Honours Partner.
