Airport Baggage Handling Systems and Sorting

Key Facts:

• Hybrid manned, semi-automated & fully-automated self check-in and bag drop
• Reduces check-in queues and eliminates under-manning at peak times
• Lean and functional design within small footprint
• Easy installation into new systems or retrofit to existing systems
• One-person maintenance to minimise operating costs
• Reinforces Crisplant's expertise as end-to-end baggage handling integrator

Crisplant – part of the BEUMER Group and a leading global supplier of automated baggage handling systems – will launch a hybrid check-in system at Passenger Terminal Expo 2015, on 10-12 March, in Paris, France. MyCheck™ is a flexible solution which can be used as a fully-automated check-in and bag drop for the passenger; as an automated check-in by the passenger and bag drop at a manned counter; or as a conventional check-in and bag drop at a manned counter. MyCheck™ complements the CrisCheck range of check-in conveyors already available.

This flexibility not only provides a multi-function check-in for space-constrained airports, but also allows the airport to achieve a much higher level of asset usage. The ability to switch between different check-in options will help airlines to manage long queues more effectively and reduce the pressure of under-manning in the departure hall during peak periods.

For passengers, the MyCheck™ self-service check-in and bag drop is both easy to use and offers an ultra-low conveyor height which allows bags to be lifted easily for added comfort and safety.

For airports, a lean and functional design makes MyCheck™ suitable for new terminal designs as well as for retrofit installations and it can be used as an easy extension to Crisplant’s CrisCheck™ conveyor. Vital security and safety features include tamper detection, to prevent bags being switched during check-in; double detection to ensure that every bag is checked; and also motion detection to monitor for the presence of a child or passenger on the conveyor. Seamless integration with the airport and airline IT systems provides immediate barcode verification during the reconciliation of the passenger, passport and ticket. MyCheck™ also reduces maintenance costs by allowing all maintenance tasks to be carried out by a single operator.

“MyCheck™ represents a significant advance in the flexibility which airports can expect from their check-in systems,” explains Klaus Schäfer, Managing Director, Crisplant. “It will enhance the efficiency and productivity of the check-in procedure even in the most space-constrained airports.”

Crisplant is launching MyCheck™ on Stand 4040 at Passenger Terminal Expo 2015, 10-12 March, Paris.
