Automated baggage screening and logistics system for enhanced airport efficiency
Abstract
Air transport plays a vital role in modern life, facilitating efficient logistics and connectivity across distant cities and countries. However, airports face numerous challenges in ensuring safety, speed, comfort, and security for passengers and their belongings. This paper addresses the pressing need for innovation in airport operations, focusing on automating baggage screening and logistics processes to streamline operations and enhance overall airport efficiency. By deploying a sophisticated automated system, airports can delegate logistics tasks to automation, accelerate processes, minimize paperwork, improve incident management, optimize luggage loading strategies, and enhance lost luggage retrieval. Such innovations promise to expedite baggage handling without compromising safety, thereby elevating the quality of service and passenger satisfaction.
