Track and trace systems IDENTIFY, TRACE AND MEASURE LUGGAGE RELIABLY 3 1 2 5 4 1 Bag drop off: bag drop at an unmanned counter 3 Early baggage storage: storage of bags which are the intended flight containers with the help of robots 2 Sorting and transport: baggage sorting according dropped off before official check-in starts 5 Baggage reclaim: bag drop to the passenger at to destination and transport within the airport 4 Automated flight make-up: baggage is loaded into the reclaim carousel A prerequisite for secure and reliable airport operations is smooth transport of bags within the usually kilometer-long airport conveyor systems. The reliable sorting and routing of suitcases, bags or backpacks to the correct sorting zone must be ensured while doing so. To make sure baggage moving in the conveyor and sorter systems of the airport does not reach an incorrect sorting zone or even get lost, the baggage must be clearly identifiable and traceable. In addition, information on a bagʼs size, weight and volume is required for transport. SICK provides clever identification interchangeable with one another.
