Airports come in all shapes and sizes, and have unique check-in layouts to manage their traffic densities. That’s why our check-in systems come in a variety of designs and configurations. So, whatever your footprint, we can help you to keep that departure hall running like clockwork.

We do this by providing modular and scalable solutions that can meet your current and future demands.

Our check-in solutions meet all today’s demands for linear, island and flow-through configurations. Moreover, innovative product features – such as smooth sidewalls and flat conveyors with a waffle surface – contribute to the secure, trouble-free transport of every type of baggage. We can supply single or double systems. These have one-, two- or three-belt designs for weighing, labelling and dispatch.

Our intelligent software supports our check-in systems to ensure seamless transport on to the collector line. And by installing our solutions, you can also look forward to a low maintenance regime, while our easy-to-replace modules guarantee that interruptions to your passenger services are kept to a minimum.

We integrate several self bag drop (SBD) systems that can work seamlessly with our baggage handling systems.

They can deliver a wide range of benefits, including faster baggage drop-off, shorter passenger queues and reduced labour costs.

They can also:

• improve efficiency in handling passenger flow
• enhance passenger experience
• and increase retail revenue from passengers.

Our PAX MX2 checkpoint solution has a unique dual-lane concept for a faster passenger security process. It makes best use of your checkpoint footprint and screening equipment, which means it’s a great option for airports that have limited space and personnel.

The system also facilitates 100% tracking and tracing of individual bags using an RFID in each carrier to minimise the number of mishandled bags.

FLEET Bag is our innovative baggage logistics solution for handling individual items of luggage inside the baggage hall. Each vehicle – or “runner” – carries a single bag and determines the most optimal route through an airport. The solution supports the screening, buffering and sortation processes by delivering bags to the correct make-up position.

FLEET Bag is resilient by design, which means there is no requirement for redundant transportation and sortation equipment. System complexity is reduced due to the use of autonomous runners and the same space can be used regardless of the precise routing a bag will take.

A significant advantage of FLEET Bag is its flexibility, as layouts and processes can be easily modified. It’s a straightforward task to add vehicles, and routes can be configured to help optimise operations. These options are useful when expanding sorting systems to include more make-up positions, or to change screening systems that need to cope with new security regulations.

LEET Bag can also act as a temporary baggage solution for events, peak periods or during phased construction projects, such as a major overhaul of baggage handling systems. In addition, it’s quick to commission and install compared to traditional systems.

Fleet Bag is a sustainable option too, as the vehicles consume less energy than traditional baggage handling systems.

Airport floor space is expensive and often limited. Integrate our space-saving VarioBelt TilterPlus belt conveyor system to make the most of available space. With its unique tilting function, it can convey baggage not just straight ahead, but also to the left or right. With just one baggage conveyor system that operates in three directions, you will save space by utilizing fewer machines.

• Three-way baggage
• Modular
• Simple maintenance
• Space-saving solution
• Individual layouts possible

You can expand capacity with VarioBelt TilterPlus’s modular system without interrupting operations. Incorporate additional devices into your existing sorter line according to your needs. Custom configurations and joining solutions of 90, 45 and zero degrees –  without curves – adapt perfectly to available space.

A proven industry standard, our High Speed Diverter 3,0 offers unparalleled performance and care for your baggage – meaning you can achieve high speed sortation with minimal force applied to the bag.

How can your airport handle an ever-growing volume of bags within a limited footprint and prepare for future growth? Our unique shuttle-based automated system, ADAPTO BAGSTORE, is the answer you’re looking for.

Maximum flexibility comes as standard with ADAPTO BAGSTORE. The system incorporates a racking structure combined with an integrated track on which the shuttles can make their multidirectional moves.

ADAPTO BAGSTORE can be used to facilitate all types of batching processes – from compressed to early builds. Its extremely high redundancy and throughput capacities allow bags to be “pulled” out as required, and flight build cells to be used in the most efficient way.

This is a highly cost-effective solution – and the modular design makes best use of existing floor space and infrastructure in the most effective way. New racking and shuttles can be added when needed, making scalability an easy option. It all means that ADAPTO BAGSTORE can seamlessly match your airport’s future growth ambitions.

In addition, it makes use of RF tags in our TUBTRAX ICS carriers for tracking and tracing, which ensure the constant availability of each bag. It’s also a sustainable option because the system’s intelligent power management, low moving mass and decreased dependence on conveyors combine to reduce energy consumption.

For a flexible and efficient early bag storage at your airport

With VarioStore Flex, we offer a highly flexible and space-saving, world-first solution for daily early baggage handling. Our innovative early bag store (EBS) employs robotics to store luggage in mobile racks and reintegrate them into the main conveyor line. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) move racks to predefined locations. In addition, the intelligent system design allows direct access to single bags, significantly improving baggage handling efficiency.

VarioStore Flex enables easy extension and configuration, adapting individually to your facility and building layout. It is ideal for smaller spaces, lower ceiling heights, and areas with other structural and operational restrictions. The flexible EBS can be used with both individual carrier systems (ICS) and belt conveyors. Thanks to the latest technologies, the solution optimizes resource usage, such as energy and material, supporting your sustainable operations.

• Modular design

Temporary storage is an essential part of an efficient baggage handling process. We offer a wide range of future-proof solutions, from fully automated systems – such as ADAPTO BAGSTORE – to semi-automated lane storage with manual loading. In all cases, our innovative “pull” concept will significantly improve efficiency at your airport.

By applying dedicated controls, early bags can be retrieved based on time priority. Meanwhile, bags for individual flights – or groups of flights with the same departure time – are buffered together.

Our systems allow for peak shaving, so you are not faced with impossible workloads at the busiest times of the day. They can work efficiently at a steady rate, instead of dealing with constantly varying bag flows.

And flight make-up positions can be opened later than the check-in opening times, thanks to our baggage buffer. This will significantly increase your productivity per square metre, as the same make-up positions can be used for more flights.

If you’re aiming to increase efficiency and cut costs, while making your airport more sustainable, you should look closely at what your bag sortation system can offer. Our HELIXORTER will help you to manage these issues while providing top-quality performance.

This solution has been designed to increase sorting accuracy and lower maintenance requirements for enhanced availability, with:
