SIEMENS: INNOVATIVE BAGGAGE HANDLING AT GUANGZHOU AIRPORT

摘要

Siemens Postal, Parcel & Airport Logistics (SPPAL) has commissioned a new baggage handling system right on schedule for the grand opening of Terminal 2 at Guangzhou International Airport in China. It is the first system in China to perform its most important sorting function exclusively with tray technology. To save valuable airport floorspace, Siemens installed for the first time a fully suspended early bag store (EBS) at Guangzhou which, offering storage space for 4,000 bags, is also the largest EBS anywhere in China. Designed for a peak throughput of almost 15,500 pieces of baggage per hour, the Siemens system will contribute decisively to the envisaged expansion of the airport's capacity and to further enhancing passenger convenience. Guangzhou International Airport handled almost 66 million air travellers in 2017, making it one of the world's 20 largest airports.
