Datalogic Automation

Automatic Identification Systems for Baggage Handling

Company Profile

• ATR - Automatic Tag Reading

  Datalogic ATR is the high-performance solution for baggage sorting applications. It satisfies the key needs of the most challenging airport applications: excellent throughput, reliability and simple maintenance. Datalogic ATR offers the simplicity of a standard solution combined with very high performance thanks to the use of top-class barcode readers.

  Excellent reader availability is provided through the Datalogic Redundant System (REDS) that promptly reacts to any kind of system failure by automatically enabling the REDS backup hardware. ATR is designed to minimize maintenance activities on site and to allow a completely automatic start of the backup hardware without any external interaction.

  Remote surveillance and control of the complete system is guaranteed by Datalogic WebSentinel™, a software application that continuously monitors the integrated reading arrays and immediately notifies faulty conditions, with warning messages, even via email.

  

• Technology

  Airport applications can exploit the power and efficiency of Datalogic’s high-end scanner lines, the DS8100A and DX8200A.

  The patent ASTRA™ and PackTrack™ technology enable the scanner to measure the real position of the code and assign the code specifically to each baggage.

  Using these particular solutions, Datalogic also guarantees time reduction between baggage check-in and aircraft take off and high reading performance, even in case of low-quality barcodes or damaged labels.

  

• REDS

  REDS is the Datalogic redundant identification system for baggage handling applications that guarantees true zero downtime for the system, thanks to its capability to notice hardware failures and automatically activate backup resources.

  With REDS, the ATR system is fully monitored by diagnostic routines that promptly take control in case of unexpected failure. After detected a faulty component, the backup hardware takes over in a few seconds providing an unparalleled availability for the system.

  REDS supports a hot replacement feature that allows component substitution during operations.

  

• HYBRID Solution

  Hybis, Hybrid Baggage Identification System, is the innovative automatic identification solution for airport applications. Datalogic Automation and Siemens SIMATIC have developed a really integrated system that combines laser and RFID technologies.

  Hybis delivers enormous advantages in efficiency of baggage handling systems; thanks to the hybrid technology, Hybis achieve unrivalled reading rates even in challenging conditions as transfer luggage area, where damaged or dirty barcodes may affect the performance of the only optical reading.

  Remote surveillance and control of the complete system is guaranteed by Datalogic WebSentinel™, a software application that continuously monitors the integrated reading arrays and immediately notifies faulty conditions, with warning messages, even via email.
