Summary

BagOS is being implemented across multiple international airports. The client needed a standardized solution that can be deployed at airports of different sizes while running on the same Siemens logistics hardware, supporting fully automated baggage handling from check-in to boarding.

The Challenge

01

Each airport had unique infrastructure but needed a common software platform

02

Tight coupling with Siemens logistics hardware and PLC systems required real-time control

03

Baggage mishandling directly impacts passenger experience and airline operations

04

The system needed to handle peak holiday traffic without degradation

The Solution

01 Standardized BagOS architecture

One BagOS architecture adapts to airports of different sizes, so each site is a configuration of the same platform rather than a separate build against unique infrastructure.

02 Hardware and PLC integration

The platform integrates with Siemens logistics hardware and PLC systems. Baggage handling is real-time control, so this coupling is where the timing guarantees come from.

03 Tray-based conveyor handling

A tray-based high-speed conveyor system protects bags in transit, which is what lets throughput stay high through peak holiday traffic without raising damage rates.

04 End-to-end baggage accuracy

Delivery is 100% accurate from check-in to boarding and back again. Mishandling lands directly on passenger experience and airline operations, so this is the measure the system is judged on.
