Information technology
Integrated
control and information technologies permit a scalable degree of automation
adapted to match the customer's requirements. We supply appropriate hardware and
software solutions that guarantee faultless baggage sorting and tracking.
State-of-the-art, redundant data networks link servers and control units to
information terminals and operator stations at all strategic points and ensure a
reliable flow of information parallel to the flow of baggage. Automated scanner
gates (ATR) read the identification (baggage tag) of each item of baggage and
send it to the sorter computer. The computer combines this information with the
data received from the airline (BSM) and the current sorting plan and thus
determines the destination of the baggage. It also takes into account whether it
is an early, late or problematic item of baggage and initiates the procedures
specially designed to cater for such cases as and when necessary. Flexible
sorting strategies guarantee effective system utilization matched to the
airport's operational requirements.
Flight schedule changes, flight delays and cancellations automatically lead to a
reassignment of the baggage sorting destinations. Airport operations continue
almost free of interruption.
Our effective and efficient baggage management system ensures that required
security is upheld, while reducing operating costs and improving passenger
satisfaction without compromising punctuality.
