BEUMER to demo baggage handling VR at Airport Show Dubai

A live demonstration of a Video Coding System (VCS) will show how new technology from BEUMER Group can optimise baggage handling system performance. The VCS combines cameras installed on a sortation system with controls from BEUMER Group’s Airport Software Suite to eliminate the need to divert bags with no-read tags to a Manual Encoding Station (MES). This technology allows the bag to remain inside the system whilst it sends an image of the tag to an operator for remote encoding at a workstation or via a tablet.

The benefits of the VCS, including increased flexibility during peak coding periods, are outlined in a recent BEUMER Group White Paper.

Delegates can take a virtual-reality tour of the CrisBag tote-based baggage handling system via an Oculus head-set. In 2017 the show is focusing on security innovation, and BEUMER Group’s CrisBag totes are first to be approved by the TSA for US-based in-tote baggage screening, demonstrating BEUMER Group’s leadership in this area of baggage handling,

The virtual reality demonstration will showcase the high-speed, high-efficiency baggage handling offered by the CrisBag tote-based system, demonstrating why many airports view this as the future of baggage handling.

Klaus Schäfer, Managing Director, BEUMER Group A/S, “Our innovations enable airports to make significant improvements in their baggage handling processes resulting in improved efficiency in addition to contributing to enhanced passenger satisfaction by reducing in the number of mishandled bags.”
