Passenger Terminal World – Early Adopters
)
Passenger Terminal World recently explored the latest innovations in baggage handling – from quick wins to radical new approaches.
Helen Normann interviewed Kim Abildgaard, Sales & Business Development Manager for Transfer Belt, about how airports can make immediate improvements to existing systems while awaiting full automation – and how Power Stow worked with Schiphol Airport to roll out this “quick win” approach.
We know that achieving fully automated baggage handling will be a long-term journey for most airports. To sustain operations and manage future growth, prioritizing efficiency improvements is crucial, as relying on workforce expansion is no longer a viable way to address capacity constraints.
When looking to increase automation in baggage handling systems, we recommend that airports take a step-by-step approach, focusing first on the most critical parts of the process—particularly where employees face the greatest ergonomic strain and time pressure. Prioritizing improvements in these high-stress areas, especially during peak periods, ensures immediate impact while laying a solid foundation for broader automation in the future.
