Automated Bag Storage

ALSTEF has fully mastered the design of automated baggage storage systems, with extensive expertise in both automated storage and baggage sorting.

ALSTEF offers storage systems adapted to each application : 

• Security : The bags are stored individually after screening, waiting for validation from security, customs or other departments ;
• Processing : The bags can be stored by flight or departure time slot, and reintroduced in the sorting system when required to be delivered to baggage handlers ;
• Early Bag Storage : The bags are stored individually, by flight or time slot, and reintroduced in the sorting system when the sorting point (chute, pier, carousel) is open ;

 Late Bag Storage : Bags that have missed their flight are stored individually before being reallocated to another flight.

Our automated storage systems are controlled by a module from BAGWARE®, the management software developed by ALSTEF. This modular concept ensures either a complete integration within the baggage sorting systems managed by BAGWARE®, or a stand-alone function within an existing system.

• Extensive experience in sorting and storage automated systems
• Technologies adapted to each application : storage in bins by stacker-cranes, storage on conveyor lines served by rapid shuttles, storage with distribution by DCV… 
  
• Solutions adapted to the requirements of the project : input/output flows, number of bags, sorting criteria, available surface area and actual volume ...
