Crisplant – Part of the BEUMER Group and a leading global supplier of automated baggage handling systems – has been awarded a contract by Swedavia to extend the tilt-tray sorter and upgrade the control systems in Terminal 5 of Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. Crisplant will also integrate Standard 2 screening into the baggage handling system, which will become mandatory in September 2014. The upgrade will be carried out while the baggage handling system continues to operate normally and with no disruption to passengers or flights.

Swedavia’s Bengt Persson, Head of Baggage Handling System at Arlanda Airport adds “This type of upgrade places huge demands on the airport and our supplier to guarantee uninterrupted availability of the baggage handling system, which is why we work in close cooperation with Crisplant to plan the extension around our normal daily operation.”

“Meticulous planning has enabled Crisplant to perform a number of this particular upgrade whilst the baggage systems remain in normal operation,” explains Klaus Schäfer, Managing Director, Crisplant. “These have included a major upgrade at South Africa’s flagship airport, O.R. Tambo International, in preparation for the FIFA World Cup 2010, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport as well as Singapore Changi Terminal 2.”

Crisplant has worked closely with Swedavia since 2002, when Crisplant supplied a complete tilt-tray baggage handling system at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. The airport was also one of the first to integrate a CrisBag high-speed baggage transport and sortation system. The continuing dialogue with Swedavia has enabled Crisplant to optimise the baggage handling system to reflect increases in passenger numbers and the demands on the baggage handling system while also integrating new, up-to-date system features such as a dedicated batch building and speed load system for trolleys and ULDs.
