DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SYSTEM

Airports and airlines are investing in baggage handling technology to improve

the efficiency of the baggage process and passenger experience as the number of air
passengers increases in every year. A baggage handling system is a type of conveyor
system installed in airports that transports checked luggage from airport counter check
in ticket at departure gate into areas where the bags can be loaded onto airplanes.

The primary function of the system is mainly transportation of bags and making
sure that a bag gets to the correct location in the airport. A baggage handling system
(BHS) is consists of many subtasks at different stages and processes. The system is
developed to check in passengers, count the number of bag and the weight, transport
the bag and sorting it by sensor barcode.

Baggage handling consists three main processes. The first process is the
inbound baggage handling which is concerned with the handling of the bags from
passengers arriving at the airport. The transfer baggage process deals with the handling
of bags from passengers changing their aircraft at the airport. The outbound baggage
handling combines the baggage flow from transfer passengers and the local check-in
desks.

Each airport has its own requirement when it comes luggage system. Baggage
handling quality is mainly measured as a number of mishandled bags which is an
important issue for customer satisfaction. The bags need to move from point to point as
fast as the traveller’s movement, If luggage move slowly, the result will be frustrated
travellers waiting for suitcases and that may lose connections because of these delays.
If the transfer is too fast, baggage may arrive before passengers.

The transfer baggage process is important for the success of large hub airports
with many transfer passengers since the guaranteed connecting time for passengers and
the corresponding luggage is a competition factor between hub airports. Customer
satisfaction combines the views from passengers and airlines.

This baggage handling system include some updated technology to transport

luggage from the check-in counter to the departure gate in a completely automated way
such as:

 Destination-coded vehicles, control by linear induction motors mounted

to the tracks, and can load or unload bags without stopping.
 Automatic scanners scan the labels on the luggage via barcode sensor.
 Conveyors equipped with junctions and sorting machines automatically
route the bags to the gate.

 2.0 OBJECTIVES

Baggage handling is an important process during the ground time of an aircraft at an

airport. The complexity of the transfer baggage process depends on the airport layout and the
available capacity. The main objectives of the system are below:

 To minimize the number of missed connections.

 To ensure the handling baggage process smoother and efficiency.
 To detect the position luggage in case of emergency

8.0 CONCLUSION

Baggage handling system (BHS) at an airport plays a crucial role in keeping travellers
happy. It also can make the difference in an airport's ability to attract or keep a major airline
hub (an airport that serves as a central connecting point through which many flights of a
particular airline are routed). Starting from check-in through screening to departure, arrival and
claims, baggage handling systems help on supporting the ground operation team around the
world do their work quicker, safer and efficient.

During the check-in process, the main key advances in baggage handling include
weighing and conveyor system that feature ergonomic system designs that make it more
convenience for airport/airlines staff and passengers. This system also minimises the waiting
period and improve check in counter speed but still maintaining an excellent customer service.

Automated baggage handling systems also help baggage handler and ground operation
team to improve system in sorting and counting baggage according to flight type. Highly
accuracy and efficient, baggage handling systems ensure the right bag goes to the right plane
for the right passenger.

But no matter how modern stunning an airport, fast, efficient and smooth baggage
handling system always plays a major part in delivering an exceptional service and ensuring
that passengers will be drawn back to the airport. Increasing passenger numbers, as well as the
passenger’s desire for greater control around baggage and check-in services also means a rise
in self-service solutions, such as kiosks and bag-drops, now sitting alongside existing systems.

Baggage Handling Systems can be improving by include baggage management

initiatives and new technologies such as Auto baggage build, using automated or semi-
automated manual handling devices such as robots to build ULDs ready for the aircraft, and
Early Bag Store (EBS), a facility that manages and sorts bags.
