BENEFITS

The Automated Container Handling
System can transport loaded
ULDs between destinations and
divert empty ULDs for parking or
maintenance with no manual lifting
and minimal operator intervention.
Configured as a single isolated loop,
or as a number of interconnected
loops over multiple building levels, the
system is controlled by management
software which communicates
wirelessly, and in real-time, with each
ULD carrier. The destination, position
and progress of each carrier are
constantly tracked to provide 100%
traceability of each ULD.

Empty carriers can be routed to
designated areas for parking or offline
maintenance. When transporting
ULDs, the carriers can achieve
speeds of up to 2 m/s in straight lines,
and 0.5 m/s around corners to give an
average speed of up to 1 m/s.

•t Automated transportation of
containers between locations
•t Minimal handler interaction
•t Reduced ergonomic risks
•t Enhanced control, traceability and
security
•t Minimises human error to reduce
lost or mislaid bags
•t
Integration within existing or new
systems

Automating the container handling
process provides enhanced quality
by reducing the Incident Rate (IR) and
increases productivity and process
reliability. Security is also increased by
reducing the number of times that the
bags are handled manually.
