BNP Associates can lay claim to inventing the first automated baggage handling system back in 1971. Half a century later, such systems are a familiar feature in airports around the world.
The challenge for airports remains much the same as it did then. Moving baggage manually to and from the airport terminal to the aircraft is time-consuming, costly and labour-intensive. Automating check-in conveyors, baggage screening, sorting, make-up and reclaim is proven to improve process efficiency, passenger experience and safety.
