Airport

Keep passengers
moving.

Airport automation and baggage handling systems designed around security, speed and the passenger experience — from check-in through screening, sortation and baggage reclaim.

Airport automation

Security.
Speed.
Experience.

Nowhere in materials handling does efficient movement have such a direct impact on the customer experience as it does within an airport.

Increased passenger volumes, heightened security requirements and growing expectations place constant pressure on airport operators to keep both passengers and baggage moving reliably.

IO Systems designs and delivers airport solutions covering check-in, baggage handling, security screening and baggage reclaim, with systems built around the operational requirements of each airport.

Check-in conveyor systems can incorporate weigh scales and integrate directly into the wider baggage handling process.

02 ↗

Collect & Sortation

Collect conveyors, diverters and sortation technology engineered to maintain reliable baggage flow through the airport.

03 ↗

Security Screening

Security systems including baggage screening and radiation detection can be integrated into new or existing installations.

04 ↗

Claim Conveyors

Baggage reclaim systems designed to create reliable flow while supporting a better passenger experience at the end of the journey.

Baggage handling

Every bag.
Every movement.

A baggage handling system has to move large volumes accurately and consistently while connecting multiple airport processes into one continuous flow.

01
Check-In

Controlled introduction of baggage into the handling system.

02
Screening

Security technology incorporated directly into baggage flow.

03
Sortation

Intelligent routing to keep baggage moving towards the correct destination.

04
Reclaim

Reliable baggage delivery back to passengers.

Security screening

Security without
unnecessary delay.

IO Systems can incorporate airport security technologies into both new turnkey systems and upgrades to existing baggage handling infrastructure.

The objective is to deliver the required level of screening while maintaining efficient movement through the system.

Baggage Screening Integrated security processes
Radiation Detection Additional security integration
Existing Systems Upgrade and integration options
Turnkey Delivery Complete system implementation
Case study · Dubai International Airport

Faster security.
Better flow.

In 2014, IO Systems completed a €15 million project at Dubai International Airport.

The project delivered more than 100 automated tray-return systems for use in airport security screening areas.

The systems automatically return security trays to the beginning of the passenger queue, reducing manual handling and helping passengers move through screening more efficiently.

Automated tray-return systems

Impact ~50%

Reduction in security-screening queue time reported by IO Systems

Automated tray return

Small movements.
Big impact.

Instead of requiring trays to be manually carried back to the beginning of the security lane, the automated system returns them continuously.

That seemingly simple movement can remove friction from the screening process, allowing passengers and security operations to move more efficiently.

Reduce unnecessary handling.

Design the process so equipment keeps materials — and people — moving where they need to go.

Custom airport solutions

Designed around
your airport.

Airport systems cannot be treated as one-size-fits-all installations.

Passenger volumes, security requirements, terminal layouts and existing infrastructure all influence the final design.

IO Systems can develop a new turnkey solution or integrate new technology into an existing airport baggage handling and security operation.
