End-to-end baggage handling systems showcasing at Inter Airport China

Importantly the tour will demonstrate why several airports consider tote-based technology to be the next-generation of energy-efficient baggage handling systems.

This is based on the ‘one bag per tote’ concept which provides 100% tracking and traceability of each item of baggage throughout the check-in, sorting and screening processes.

The CrisBag system is the one of the world’s most widely-installed tote-based systems and is used by a number of international airport hubs including Changi Airport. At Changi, CrisBag is used as a dual-purpose system for sorting baggage and for extensive inter-terminal baggage transfers between Terminals 1, 2 and 3. BEUMER will also supply and integrate the baggage handling system for Changi Airport’s new Terminal 4 building.

In other regions, a CrisBag system will soon be in operation in Abu Dhabi Airport's new Midfield Terminal, while Calgary Airport Authority, Canada, has awarded BEUMER with the contract to integrate a second CrisBag tote-based baggage transport and sorting system.

Other baggage handling systems from the Crisplant range have been installed by BEUMER in airports throughout China, including Shanghai Pudong, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Changsha and Nanjing.

“This exhibition underlines the boom in China's airport infrastructure,” explained Klaus Schäfer, Managing Director, BEUMER. “As the Chinese airports prepare to expand, BEUMER is providing guidance on best-practice, and technology to support increases in both the capacity and efficiency of the baggage handling systems.”

Visitors are able to see BEUMER at Hall 8A, Stand 604 at Inter Airport China, 12^th-14^th September 2016.
