Heathrow, 2013-Apr-11
A Siemens baggage handling system in operation
Project Manager, Pablo Ugalde explained that the extensive installation work, which lasted over period of 24 months, had been carried out by the team from Siemens across several control areas of the existing baggage hall while maintaining full operation capability of the ‘Live’ baggage system. The newly installed baggage system incorporates nine ‘Level 1/2’ and three ‘Level 3/4’ HBS lines and an additional 2 reclaim carousels.
Siemens has demonstrated over many years its logistic expertise and operational support to some of the world’s busiest international airports. From Beijing to Madrid, the company has a proven track record for the operation and maintenance of a number of complex baggage handling systems and the technical capacity to integrate and improve systems and technology.
In addition to the completion of new baggage handling facilities and IT systems at Heathrow’s Terminal 4 last year and the on-going installation of baggage equipment at the newly constructed Heathrow Terminal 2, the company’s activities have taken a significant upturn recently in terms of providing the UK based operators of leading international transport hubs and regional airports with operational, service and technical support. In turn, the number of employees in the Logistics and Airport Solutions business has also increased significantly.
