Key Facts:

Crisplant – a leading global supplier of automated baggage handling systems – will highlight the latest technology in automated baggage-handling, as well as introducing a new baggage management and reconciliation system, on Stand No. 4030 at Passenger Terminal Expo 2010, 23-25th March, Brussels, Belgium.

Klaus Schäfer, Crisplant Managing Director, comments; “Crisplant has always provided the airport industry with major innovations in baggage-handling technology: Lately we have introduced the industry’s most energy-efficient sorter, the LS-4000; as well as RampMate, the first system to eliminate manual handling of baggage between the terminal and the aircraft ramp; and the first fully-automated RFID tunnel with integrated barcode technology. The Crisplant stand will feature a model of the RFID tunnel which has been chosen for the new baggage handling installations at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport’s international terminal and also at New Doha International Airport.  Crisplant will also host a panel of experts who will answer questions on these new technologies and existing Crisplant systems such as the CrisBag® baggage transportation and storage system.”

The Crisplant stand will screen a demonstration of Crisplant’s new baggage management and reconciliation system at Passenger Terminal Expo 2010. Designed to interface with existing airport control software, the RFID-enabled system provides baggage-handlers and airport operators with real-time and historical track-and-trace data. This provides an instant overview of the position of the baggage in ULDs and Dollies. Developed in response to customer requests, the system provides a significant improvement in communication between the operators and baggage-handlers which will help to reduce the number of short-shipped or mis-routed items. This, in turn, will improve passenger security and satisfaction as well as reducing flight delays caused by mis-handled baggage.

The Crisplant stand will also screen an extensive emulation of baggage-flow, from check-in to make-up, of a system which will be installed at a major new international airport.
