and conference programme - Passenger Terminal Expo

passenger. New technologies for facilitation will be addressed, and the concept of using
credentials in the airline sector will be approached from many different angles. It will also
be made clear that a credential-based system must come with a solid architecture, business
case and support level to ensure customer acceptance and appreciation.

15.45-16.15 Baggage sorting and 100% x-ray screening at Stuttgart Airport
Uwe Kaschdailewitsch, head of department conveying and machine
technology, Flughafen Stuttgart GmbH, Germany
In 2004 the new Terminal 3 went into operation at Stuttgart Airport, with a baggage handling
system that integrated 100% x-ray screening for the first time in Stuttgart. The heart of the
system is a tilt-tray sorter on which every piece of luggage will find its way to the planned
destination. In 2008, Terminal 1’s baggage handling system was replaced. Because of the
small dimensions of the building, it was not possible to install a tilt-tray sorter. Fortunately
there is no need for level-two x-rays, so we were able to solve the problem with a
conventional belt-conveyer system.

DAY ONE 16 November 2008
16.15-16.40 Using emulation to secure baggage handling systems on time
Kim Madsen, system manager, software engineering, FKI Logistex, Denmark
Singapore Changi Airport recently opened its new Terminal 3. At the design phase, emulation
was the backbone of making the BHS. Based on the Changi Airport case study, the next
generation of emulation will be presented, including examples of how far emulation can be
taken to visualise possible airport scenarios that can impact baggage handling. The audience
will learn how this type of test will subject the baggage handling system to a variety of
scenarios and force the layout and control system to deal with future demands for higher
performance due to expanding passenger numbers. In addition, the use of emulation can help
visualise and prove the system layout to non-mechanical and non-software oriented people
16.40-17.05 Increasing profitability and baggage performance: is RFID right for you
Jean-Noel Lefebvre, partner, Aera.aero Consultants, France
This presentation will provide an update on what RFID for bag tags bring, and insights into
how to do a fact-based assessment of RFID ROI and make the right decision for an airport
or terminal.1) How to use track-and-trace databases, RFID, barcode hand-helds to deliver
better baggage performance; 2) How to decrease tag cost; 3) How to investigate key benefits
of RFID for the main baggage flows; 4) How to identify opportunities to go towards 6-Sigma
performance; 5) What are the key success factors, particularly with stakeholders (airport,
airlines, handlers, etc.)
17.05-17.30 Automated and unmanned bag drop
Alexis Hernot, marketing and strategy vice-president, IER, France
We will describe the process and product that we have designed with major airlines to allow
passengers to drop a bag in less than 30 seconds. Such technology opens the way for global
optimisation of check-in resources that has not happened since the introduction of check-in
kiosks. This system is based on the use of state-of-the-art technologies in the industry: RFID
and self-service technology. I will explain different solutions for bag drops and their impact on
airline resources as well as passengers. Then we will explore the critical success factors for a
fast bag drop and successful implementation in existing infrastructure.
