Use Case: RFID-based Baggage Tracking with Cloud Foundry
summary
End-to-end RFID baggage tracking built on GE Predix on Cloud Foundry integrates RFID readers, edge agents, WebSocket updates, a message broker and Redis and runs as a >10-microservice prototype. Passive/active RFID yields 98–100% read rates versus ~80–85% for barcodes, Delta reports a 99% success pilot, and airport checkpoints are wired in a demo with two checkpoints. Proof-of-concept is delivered in three months by two developers and targets sub‑12‑month payback depending on checkpoint count.
