An airport, cruise terminal or other transportation hub's baggage handling system (BHS) is a sophisticated network of conveyor systems, sorting devices, scanners and other equipment intended to automate the transfer of luggage. A BHS's main objective is to guarantee the timely, efficient, and secure transportation of passenger luggage from check-in to the aeroplane or scheduled pick-up location.
The main elements and procedures in a typical luggage handling system are as follows:
1. Check-In: At the check-in desks or self-service kiosks, travellers leave their luggage. Each luggage has a baggage tag with a distinctive barcode or an RFID tag that connects it to the traveler's itinerary.
2. Baggage Screening: To maintain compliance with airline security requirements, bags are required to pass security screening utilising X-ray machines, explosive detection systems (EDS), or other screening technologies.
3. Sorting of Baggage: Following screening, luggage are organised according to where they are going. This is accomplished by automated sorting systems that identify the final destination of the bag using barcode readers, RFID technology, or other identification techniques.
4. Conveyor Systems: A system of conveyor belts is used to move luggage among the BHS's several departments. Straight conveyors, tilt tray conveyors, merging conveyors, and spiral chutes are a few examples of these conveyor systems. They make it easier for bags to be moved from check-in desks to the sorting area, transfer stations, and finally the loading gates.
5. Storage of Baggage: If necessary, the BHS may include holding or storage spaces for bags that must be temporarily stored for connecting flights or other circumstances.
6. Transfer and Merge Points: Bags can be transferred between several conveyor lines or sorting locations with the use of transfer conveyors and merge points. They guarantee that bags are routed properly and flow smoothly throughout the system.
7. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): AGVs are employed in some sophisticated baggage handling systems to move bags from one location to another, enabling flexible and effective material handling inside the building.
8. Baggage Reclaim: When a traveller reaches their destination, their bags are directed to the baggage reclaim area, where they can be picked up from designated carousels or conveyor belts.
9. Baggage security tracking: Bag tracking systems are used throughout the BHS to track each bag's position and condition in real time. This guarantees precise tracking, lowers the possibility of baggage being handled improperly, and improves security and accountability.
To ensure customer happiness, safety, and on-time departures, effective baggage handling systems are essential for airport operations. They aid in lowering manual handling, lowering the possibility of lost or handled incorrectly luggage, and improving overall operational effectiveness in the transportation sector.
