The use of IoT technology in transforming customer experience (CX) has become crucial for businesses. With consumers looking beyond the core products and services, IoT offers solutions such as predictive maintenance, personalization, and real-time monitoring.

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Delta Airlines is a major American airline with a large domestic and international network that serves over 325 destinations across six continents, making it one of the world’s largest airlines. To enhance customer experience, Delta Airlines utilizes IoT technology that provides real-time baggage tracking, enabling customers to receive timely alerts and updates regarding their luggage.

In Q4 of 2016, Delta Airlines introduced an IoT (Internet of Things)-based RFID tracking solution to address customer concerns regarding the safety of their luggage. This innovative solution is a big leap in customer experience (CX).

By utilizing IoT technology, Delta Airlines has significantly enhanced its ability to provide customers with a more seamless and stress-free travel experience. By leveraging IoT technology consulting RFID solutions, customers can track their luggage in real time, from when it is loaded onto the aircraft to its arrival at the destination airport. This is achieved through push notifications delivered via the Fly Delta mobile app, which gives customers a greater sense of control over their journey and peace of mind regarding the location and status of their luggage.
