Airport Passenger Handling Services

At Inter Airport Europe in Munich (11 to 14 October) in hall B5, stand 1270, Wanzl will be presenting its innovations for the airport sector, including the one-of-a-kind "Butler" Vending Unit.
 
“Butler” Vending Unit
Wanzl is constantly improving trolley management. As a world first, the company is presenting the “Butler” concept study for the organised supply of passenger luggage trolleys with an integrated conveyor system. After the fee or deposit is paid, the “Butler” Vending Unit automatically activates the passenger luggage trolley in the station and transports it to the passenger. Now the trolley simply and effortlessly needs to be taken. The trolley return system is equally innovative: the built-in conveyor unit draws the trolley back into the station. As an option service personnel are able to make use of the “Butler” Vending Unit via remote control. One click on the remote is sufficient for the system to automatically convey a previously defined number of trolleys from the Vending Unit.

eGate Control System
In conjunction with Nuremberg Airport Wanzl has developed an innovative eGate Control System with automated boarding card control. Passengers need to place their boarding pass in paper or electronic (on a Smartphone) form onto a scanner at the entrance to the eGate Control System to allow their data to be compared and access authorisation to be checked. This is achieved through boarding card reader and an interface to the airport flight information system. Next, a recognition sensor system ensures that passengers are separated. As soon as these checks have been passed, access is granted and passengers then proceed to the passport and security control points. In the event that the boarding card is invalid or passenger separation is not confirmed, the barrier remains closed. A display pictogram informs the passenger of this operation. The eGate Control System, which is not only visually attractive but also blends in well with modern airport architecture, also protects against misuse such as individuals climbing over or crawling under. In addition, the system can also be connected to the airport’s building management system to help ensure seamless security and perfect functioning at all times.

EasyGo turnstile
Sensitively and securely protects entries and exits: in either the two or three-armed version, with its enclosed stainless steel housing, the space-saving EasyGo turnstile guarantees that only persons with access authorisation can pass through. EasyGo is available in a mechanical version that can be set to turn either right or left. The electromechanical version is equipped with an operating panel as standard, which provides information on the current operating and counting status. Another Wanzl standard with electric motor additionally reports error or warning messages in real time. For chargeable access, the EasyGo turnstile can be combined with a ticket machine that accepts any currency required. After the fee is paid using cash or credit card access is enabled. Wanzl can also equip the EasyGo turnstile with an anti-panic feature.
