PRODUCT INFORMATION

Baggage Analytics

FOR A WORLD IN MOTION

Analytics Solutions

RFID is particularly well suited to harsh ambient conditions,

for example extreme temperatures or identication objects

under high physical stresses. Optical technologies require

visual contact at all times in order to detect the code and are

therefore more susceptible to wear or contamination.

RFID

Laser-based bar code scanners have an outstanding depth

of eld and are thus easily able to identify bar codes on ob-

jects of varying heights. Thanks to the wide aperture angles

up to 60°, one device is able to cover most belt widths.

Image-based code readers

Image-based code readers with camera technology are

characterized by their exibility in reading a variety of code

types. In addition to reading 1D bar codes, they employ a

range of image processing algorithms to identify 2D codes,

such as the frequently used Data Matrix, QR, or Maxi-

Codes, as well as optical character recognition. They make

light work of switching from bar codes to 2D codes.

• Flexible code reading (1D, 2D and OCR)

• Live image and image storage for analysis or data

archiving

• Omnidirectional reading with just one device

• Reading, evaluation and analysis even when codes are

damaged

• Reliable reading of codes with a wide variety of module

widths

• No moving parts

Intelligent questions have more than one answer.

The best technology depends on the task at hand.

MORE THAN A VISION

For every identication task, the same question is

asked: Which technology is best? And as always in

life, there is never just one answer for every questi-

on. The best possible solution is always tailored to

the individual technical and economic conditions of

the application.

Three identication technologies have dominated

the market for many years: RFID, image-based code

readers and laser-based bar code scanners. As the

market leader in automatic identication, SICK has

not only mastered all the main technologies, but

also poses the right questions to ensure the right

products are selected from its technology portfolio.

In the real world, providing an effective solution for automatic identication requires

more than just one technology . With SICK you have a choice. Three technologies , one

philosophy: customer needs come rst.

MORE THAN A VISION

Airports process millions of bags per day. But for travellers, there’s only one piece of luggage that really

matters – their own. Baggage Analytics from SICK helps you manage your baggage handling system

more effectively and improves security for your customers.

Eliminate the problem sources

You‘ve invested a lot in your baggage

handling system. Two factors can

signi cantly restrict your return on that

investment:

• Items outside your control, such

as non-compliant bag tags

• Dif culties uncovering the root

cause when issues arise

Now make your baggage handling

really shine

SICK’s Baggage Analytics software

provides searchable bag images and

comprehensive, real-time performance

monitoring of automated baggage

handling operations in the airport

industry. Throughout bag drop,

security screening, sorting or transfer

operations, this software helps boost

traceability, accuracy and ef ciency.

Valuable trending data, high-resolution

images for reconciliation, and track

and trace information are all easily

within reach.

COMPREHENSIVE AND RELEVANT DATA

AND IMAGES DRIVES TIMELY DECISIONS

Unlike sortation reports that show simple read rates, Baggage

Analytics quickly retrieves comprehensive baggage data based

on relevant characteristics.

1) Side-by-side similar bags 2) Damaged tag 3) Damaged bag 4) Lost bag

Maintenance: Use data and images to ensure system perfor-

mance, to investigate problem bags, and to search by  ltering

on baggage attributes.

Operations: Expedite locating mishandled bags by retrieving

and sharing color images and bag tag information.

Compliance/QA: Use high-resolution images to assess

label quality on bag tags.

APPLICATION: SORTATION

The next step in baggage processing

The latest generation of bar code readers attain very high

read rates. Here you have little room for increased operational

ef ciency. Instead, you have to look at other areas to improve

customer experiences. The SICK ALIVISION system with

Baggage Analytics offers a big technological leap forward.

From start to  nish

One of the core functions in Baggage Analytics is an image

repository that is accessible by all your various business units,

from anywhere you can securely connect to your network.

Real-time image access is available across the entire

operation, and makes it possible to automate many manual

processes. Operational improvements can be implemented

throughout your whole baggage handling chain.

The system also brings a better understanding of label

quality and presentation issues, through its automated image

analysis functions. Baggage Analytics rede nes tracking and

understanding of package damage concerns.

APPLICATION: RECONCILIATION

Where did the bag go?

A lot of us have been there - losing a bag when travelling. Lost

bags are one of the biggest reasons for customer dissatis-

faction with airlines and airports. It is also a time-consuming

issue for airport and airline personnel, especially since lost,

misplaced and missing bags can pose a security risk.

Lost becomes found

The biggest challenge in locating a lost bag is to know where

to start looking. The SICK ALIS system with Baggage Analyt-

ics, used in combination with SICK IP cameras solves this

problem. The system incorporates visualization of key process

points, and ef cient validation that the right bag is being

sorted. High-quality color images of the bags are acquired at

key

sortation points, enabling you to backtrack to the exact

location where along the way the bag went missing.

SICK ALIS and Baggage Analytics offer a user-friendly and

cost-effective solution to a problem that can greatly affect

customer satisfaction.

Handle with care

Baggage damage during transport is a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, it creates dissatised customers. On the

other, airlines and airports can never rule out the fraud risk.

Damage claim validations can be complex matters, and there

is almost always a need for them to be resolved quickly.

Get the whole picture

SICK‘s solution with Baggage Analytics and IP cameras offers

an efcient way of resolving damage claims, that leaves little

doubt to where, when and why the baggage got damaged. It

acquires high-resolution color images of baggage at various

process/sorting points in the transportation system. These

images can be tagged with appropriate meta-data, sorted,

searched and accessed across the entire operation for

corrective action.

SICK‘s solution is easily integrated in your existing system.

It brings transparency and objective data to an area where

matters far to often are settled subjectively.
