Siemens has implemented more than 300 logistics systems at airports all over the world. Decades of experience in working with airport operators have given Siemens a wealth of knowledge. Working closely with airport customers throughout the planning and implementation phases to find the right mix of "tried and tested" combined with innovative solutions is a successful standard for Siemens.

SIEMENS BAGGAGE BASE IT

Baggage Base IT is an integrated, component-based IT software solution framework for the management of sorting, material flow optimization, technical monitoring, and supervisory control.

With this software, BHS business processes are operated by dedicated components, e.g., for sort allocation planning, hold baggage screening, early bag store control, or plant visualization. All main processing rules are configurable, ensuring an easy adaptation to new or changed processing requirements, e.g., in the area of security regulations.

Modern control systems help make airports more and more flexible – dedicated solutions are no longer necessary. Siemens Systems optimize material flow, linking check-in counters to any given sorting destination via the material handling equipment.

All of Siemens Systems can be adapted to meet the customer’s requirements: from manually-operated systems to complex, semi-automated systems equipped with the latest weighing and material-handling technologies. Whether it’s a modernization project or a completely new installation, Siemens ensure the perfect integration of check-in system solutions and linkage to security checkpoints:  a smooth material flow is always guaranteed.

Siemens offer customers a complete portfolio in mechanical handling equipment, from conventional conveyor belts or high-speed bin conveyors to components like curves and junctions, distributors and swivel diverters, tilt tray and crossbelt sorters. These components are supplemented by high-performance early baggage stores with flexible capacities and short retrieval times.

Besides the dimensioning and sturdiness of the components, a high degree of integration is especially critical in regard to handling quality and throughput capacity. Siemens systems ensure that capacity expansions of an existing system as well as connections to previously implemented logistics processes and the IT environment can be performed in a quick and straightforward manner.

SMART HANDLING SIBAG
STUDY EXHIBIT

SIBAG Smart handles up to 1,500 bags/hour and serves up to four [4] million passengers/year. It ensures fast imple- mentation and reliable performance and is a turnkey solution that includes installation and commissioning. At the same time, it is ready to grow according to customer requirements and offers comprehensive after-sales service. This simple and modular approach ensures easy installation and smooth operation.

SIEMENS POWER TURN TS 1600
TBNC ENGINEERING STUDY SERIES 2010 - 2012
www.usa.siemens.com

The flat, belt-driven Power Turn TS 1600 transports baggage through curves. In the process, the transported baggage maintains its position and distance with respect to the following piece of baggage. The curves can be used for baggage handling systems with a maximum loading capacity of between 120 kg and 250 kg.

The 1600 series combines top-flight performance and reliability with an integrated design concept. It minimizes the effective space requirements of the overall system and simplifies all manual operations, including belt replacement.

BAGGAGE SECURITY SYSTEMS X-RAY STRATEGIES EXHIBIT

Our 100 percent baggage X-ray strategies are perfectly integrated into the material flow. With Siemens systems, the initial inspection after check-in is fully automated. If there is any doubt about the safety of a piece of luggage, its X-ray image is scrutinized by specially trained personnel, followed by further automated examination. If necessary, the baggage is ejected and may be subject to manual inspection by authorized personnel in the presence of the passenger. Siemens security concepts can be classified into solutions for lobby screening, verification at check-in, and in-line screening - all integrated into the baggage handling system. www.usa.siemens.com
