Control system for baggage conveyors and sorting systems
The company operating the Václav Havel Airport in Prague has contracted the PSI subsidiary PSI Logistics GmbH with implementing a new control system for the baggage conveyors and sorting systems.
The contract includes the migration to the PSIairport/BHS Baggage Handling System. With the retrofit for the highly available control of the luggage handling and sorting system with a new PSI sorting control system, the Czech hub is equipping itself for continued growth.
The special challenge of this project is that the airport operates around the clock 24/7. Because there are no bans on night flights at the airport, the core of the system has to be replaced without any downtime. As a specialist for such types of IT retrofit projects, PSI Logistics will therefore complete the project with operations ongoing. Nevertheless, a short realisation period of six months is guaranteed for the implementation, which includes the system tailoring, extensive testing phases as well as a longer pilot operation phase. By the change of the year 2015/2016 the baggage handling will be completely controlled by the new sorting system.
With more than eleven million passengers, 119 destinations and 54 airlines, the Václav Havel Airport is one of the top twenty airports in Europe. Already all of the German pas-senger airports as well as other international air transportation hubs such as the airports in Düsseldorf, Hamburg or Vienna count on solutions from PSI Logistics for the planning and control of the operative processes in their baggage and passenger handling, making PSI Logistics one of the market leaders in airport solutions.
On the basis of its own software products, PSI AG develops and integrates complete so-lutions for energy management (gas, oil, electricity, heat, energy trading), production management (mining, metals, automotive, mechanical engineering, logistics) and infra-structure management for transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs 1,700 persons worldwide.
