Baggage Conveyability and Over-Height Detection

Detecting non-conveyable and over-height baggage before it causes disruption within the BHS

Bag conveyability check

Installed at check-in or on the collector conveyor, the baggage conveyability check identifies baggage that may cause jams or handling issues before it enters downstream baggage handling equipment.

The system can determine whether baggage can continue through the standard conveyor system, requires a tub for safe transport, or should be directed to a fragile or oversize baggage route.
