Siemens to present broad airport portfolio at the inter airport South East Asia

Feb 13, 2019: Siemens Postal, Parcel and Airport Logistics (SPPAL) will present its complete hardware and software portfolio for airports and airlines at the inter airport South East Asia in Singapore.

The company, which is a subsidiary of Siemens AG, will introduce fair visitors to products such as its reliable VarioTray technology. This offers airports with a high number of transfer passengers a decisive advantage for baggage handling.

Highlighting how beneficial the technology is, the company said: "Siemens systems achieve some of the highest throughput rates worldwide, for example up to 20,000 baggage items per hour at Terminal 2 in Incheon, South Korea."

SPPAL is offering a further core component for the VarioTray portfolio with its SmartTray. SmartTray is part of a comprehensive concept that combines intelligent sensors with innovative cloud technologies: Data is collected from different components and then stored and analyzed in MindSphere, Siemens' cloud-based Internet of Things operating system. Advanced service 4.0 solutions from SPPAL, such as vibration or distance analyses are also used. Siemens visualizes the evaluation of the data with its own dashboard solution.

The tailor-made concept heightens the baggage system's availability and performance and extends its lifecycle, as well as enabling improved planning of system maintenance activities. Cost efficiency of processes can also be increased significantly.
