Baggage Handling
Our Baggage Handling Team is a group of companies within FKI Logistex that have complementary strengths for creating complete, fast and efficient baggage handling systems. The objective? To help airports and airlines get passengers' baggage where it should be – safely and on time.
From initial feasibility studies to post-implementation support, the team takes a comprehensive approach to each customer's specific needs to develop a solution that answers the needs of today, and can work productively for years to come.
From a regional airport to a large hub, our total system ensures the overall integrity and integration of the baggage handling solution. This unique approach involves the following processes, each building on the other:
- Feasibility studies
- Design studies
- System design
- Financial evaluations
- Simulation
- Systems engineering
- Product manufacturing
- General contracting
- Controls and software
- Post-implementation support
With access to the broad and deep resources of the team companies, we have the engineering and system integration experience to manage even the largest main contractor projects. We concentrate our system development around three different technologies:
- Proven tilt tray sortation technology offers high speed and excellent reliability.
- Tote technology keeps each single baggage item in a tote from check-in to final discharge to ensure 100% traceability and safe handling.
- Conveyor technology can handle baggage automatically or semi-automatically in the smallest or largest airports.
The three technologies can, of course, be combined to create the most effective solution. In any case, all our systems are developed to meet customer specifications precisely and are thoroughly tested prior to installation.
The Baggage Handling Team at work.
Our Baggage Handling Team has already developed and implemented extensive systems in more than 50 airports in North and South America and Europe. At a large hub airport in the southeastern US, our team worked closely with a major airline to create a sophisticated system that assured each bag traveled the shortest possible distance and was always discharged nearest its final destination. As a result, handling was faster and more accurate than ever. Our Baggage Handling Team's system in Copenhagen International Airport – Scandinavia's busiest – also provided faster, more accurate handling than the previous system.
In the growing market for air travel, systems from FKI Logistex can provide a competitive edge to airports and airlines alike. Every day, our team's installed systems offer airports key benefits:
High availability
High throughput
Extended life
Low maintenance costs
Low noise levels
Real time tracking
Dynamic weighing and sizing
Gentle handling
In addition to this, we back every system we develop and implement with world-class service and support.
