The important indicator of airport baggage tracking is: accurate and timely delivery of baggage, and SICK has a rich and complete solution in the field of air baggage reading.
This article will take you to take a detailed look at SICK's solutions for the whole process of baggage tracking and traceability.
The core of the system
Modular equipment
Complex communication methods can be implemented
Connect multiple sensors
Four major system solutions
1. ALIS system
The ALIS system is primarily a multi-sided scanning airport baggage solution consisting of lasers.
Space required for standard laser solutions:
How do I select an ALIS system?
Conveyor line: 1000mm reading range
Barcode: size and resolution, in accordance with IATA standards
Package: Baggage is basically the size of a regular suitcase
What kind of barcode => L or T-code need to be read?
Which faces do I need to read? 90°, 270° or 360°?
2. ALIS Camera system
Because of the poor quality of the barcodes, especially on the transmission line, the label crumples due to contamination, resulting in low read rates. This results in a lower sorting rate. Therefore, in order to increase the read rate, a new vision solution, the ALIS Camera system, will be proposed.
Compared to the original laser ALIS system, the ALIS Camera system can:
(1) Improve the sorting rate and improve the efficiency of airport operations:
· Reduce manual complementing
· Ensure the processing time of baggage transfers
· Reduce "mishandled" baggage
(2) Information required for sorting:
IATA barcode information, flight numbers, luggage trays, etc. can all be identified by image decoding
3. ALIS Vision system
In the original ALIS Camera system, it empowers Video Coding image decoding and OCR functions. It will greatly help the sorting of airport baggage and obtain a higher read rate.
ALIS Vision System Benefits:
Error-free reading is also possible for the low quality and low readability of barcode labels
Using the additional information of the label, it is possible to carry out sorting and conveying without BSM information
Reduce the workload of manual complement, only 1%-2% of the manual complement demand
The shorter the processing time, the shorter the MCT, and the lower the risk of MHB
The manual complement station only requires 1 full-time or part-time complement staff
Video Coding and OCR results are accurate and quality guaranteed
4. Hybrid system
To help you better understand, let's take a look at RFID systems before introducing Hybrid Systems.
ALIS RFID system
Based on the test results, the number of reads increased by 71,000 per 24h and the read rate increased from 93% to 99% after using the RFID system.
Because RFID is also modular, it has two different mounting modules
Design process
The antenna is connected directly to the module via a angled plug (e.g. 30°, 45°, 90° 180°)
The modules can be installed in a variety of ways, resulting in a very flexible overall channel design
The modules are self-supporting and do not require additional frames
The cable tray box installed on the module can be used to route the cables, so there is no need for a separate cable outlet
Four mounting holes in the cable tray box ensure quick installation of the antenna
The M8 thread embedded in the module enables easy installation of the interposer
Hybrid system
The combination of the Hybrid system and the airport baggage reading system from SICK results in a high-performance, technically complex design:
A system of barcode scanners and RFID readings
Short label distance and high throughput
Compact system design
The hybrid system improves the read rate
A high read rate system that combines both technologies can find that the read rate is more stable
Therefore, based on different airport baggage solutions from SICK, it can effectively help the accurate and timely delivery of baggage without worrying about the loss of luggage.
