BEUMER Group, a global supplier of automated baggage handling systems, will feature live and virtual-reality demonstrations of next-generation baggage handling technologies at the ACI Asia-Pacific General Assembly, Doha, April 10-12, 2017.

The virtual-reality tour will allow delegates to experience the CrisBag tote-based baggage handling system through a virtual-reality head-set.

BEUMER Group will also enable delegates to interact with a live demonstration of a Video Coding System (VCS). This system combines cameras installed in the sortation system, with controls from BEUMER Group’s Airport Software Suite, to eliminate the need to divert bags with no-read tags to a Manual Encoding Station (MES). The VCS technology allows the bag to remain on the sorter whilst sending an image of the tag to an operator for remote encoding at a workstation or via a tablet.

"The VCS is an important tool to help hub airports to improve their baggage transfer service by reducing the number of mis-handled bags," Klaus Schäfer, managing director, BEUMER Group A/S, said. "This is one of the areas that can have a significant impact on transfer passenger satisfaction and airport ratings in general."
