Baggage delays that occur due to the time lag between the occurrence of a baggage handling error and the discovery of the error can cause losses for the airline and the baggage owner. Therefore, a baggage location tracking system is needed that is equipped with a notification in case of an error. This tracking system requires a data acquisition subsystem in the form of a tracking device that can provide information on the position of baggage relative to the stages of baggage movement during the flight journey. The subsystem uses an RFID tag attached to each piece of baggage to perform tracking and identification. These markers will be read by reader devices placed at each stage of the baggage movement path. The device will send the reading results to the Data Center Subsystem which will store and process further tracking information. The Data Acquisition Subsystem uses the EPC Gen2 protocol to read RFID tags. Sending reading information consisting of tag ID, reading location, and reading time uses the publish method available on MQTT protocol. The results of the tests that have been carried out show that the implemented subsystem can read the RFID marker manually according to the baggage handler's orders or automatically using the timer interrupt feature. The test results also show that readings can be sent via the internet with a WiFi connection within the range of the implemented device.
