In-Series Diagnostics for Baggage System Safety

Complex baggage handling systems have hundreds of sets of e-stops and safety switches, each with multiple wires. In-Series Diagnostics minimizes cabling and troubleshooting time and cost.

Moving Walkway Indication

The project manager at an international airport sought a solution that would provide clear indication at the entrances of moving walkways to ensure a steady flow of traffic.

Airport Baggage Conveyor Monitoring

Status Indication on Airport Conveyor

A manager in charge of installing a baggage handling conveyor sought a light to indicate start, jam, and reset conditions with different colors and animations.

Preventing Jams in Airport Baggage Retrieval Systems

MSP International Airport installed Banner Q5X sensors with Jam Detection in its passenger-facing baggage carousel in Terminal 1. This laser technology with high excess gain helps to prevent stacked luggage in the retreival system by detecting the presence of luggage within a specific distance of the top of the carousel, which then automatically stops the infeed conveyor until the area is clear again.
