Transforming baggage: from building flights to building containers
Brussels Airport is transforming its baggage handling from traditional first-in, first-out to batch loading. This transformation actually entails a way bigger transformation than just the bag system. The airport must transform the way handlers operate, how check-in timings are looked at, and much more. This presentation will explain the view of Brussels Airport about this transformation and how it has been approached at the airport.
The audience will learn:
- Baggage sorting system transformations
- Batch building
- Ergonomizing baggage loading by introduction of (semi-)automated loading stations
