What’s the most terrible thing about traveling by plane? It’s either that the luggage is too “drag” or the luggage is wrong! What’s more, you can’t even find your luggage!
The T3A terminal of Chongqing Jiangbei Airport faces a huge amount of luggage, but it is not bad. This depends on the “black technology” in the T3A baggage sorting system!
Intelligent sorting-“Underground Great Wall” in the terminal
As one of the most advanced sorting systems in China, the overall length of the baggage system line in the T3A terminal of Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport has reached 17 kilometers, and the total number of main equipment in the entire system has exceeded 3,000.
In the past, due to the limited processing capacity of the baggage system, passengers had to wait until the specified time to check their baggage after arriving at the airport in advance. Now, passengers can check their luggage as soon as they arrive at the airport on the day of the flight. This is because the T3A baggage sorting system has designed 2 early storage systems, with a total of more than 50 storage lines, which can basically cover early baggages throughout the day.
The biggest highlight of the T3A baggage sorting system is the use of open-loop RFID identification application technology for the first time in China, which greatly improves the recognition rate of baggage sorting.
The RFID automatic baggage sorting system is to paste an RFID electronic tag on the randomly checked baggage of each airplane passenger, which contains all the passenger’s flight information, and is installed at each control node of the baggage flow, such as sorting, loading, and baggage collection. Electronic tag reading and writing equipment.
When the baggage with tag information passes through each node, the RFID reader will read the information and send it to the database. Realize the information sharing and monitoring of baggage in the whole transportation process. The baggage recognition accuracy rate has increased from about 90% before to over 99%.
A total of 36 RFID channels are installed at the injection port of each baggage conveyance, and each RFID channel can realize a 360-degree scanning code.
When checking luggage at T3A terminal, the staff will tie a baggage tag to the luggage. The appearance looks the same as the ordinary baggage tag, but the “hidden mystery”-electronic chip can be found by tearing off the label. The passenger’s luggage information is stored in this chip and recognized by the sensor.
In addition, each carousel on the baggage sorting system is equipped with a set of 270 degree ATR code reading stations, which can realize secondary code reading. Compared with the previous strip recognition technology, the accuracy of sorting is greatly improved.
Technology and manual linkage to ensure zero mistakes
In addition to the “black technology” radio frequency identification technology, the T3A baggage sorting system is also equipped with four inquiring all-in-one machines and a baggage data query system. The staff can check the number of received baggage, the number of baggage for flight and the result of baggage interpretation in real time on the spot, saving Communication cost improves work efficiency.
There are also numerous cameras in each link of the baggage sorting system. On the one hand, it records the entire process of baggage from check-in to boarding; on the other hand, it transmits the working status of the system back to the dispatch center in real time. The staff can check the condition of the luggage at any time, avoiding the situation of luggage loss.
The dispatch center can view the scene images returned by the surveillance video in real time, so as to dispatch the baggage sorting system to ensure the efficient operation of the baggage sorting system.
