SMART Airport Baggage Reconciliation System (SMART/BRS)

The SMART Airport Baggage Reconciliation System is a fully automated baggage management system that uses the latest technologies to ensure the continuous routing, tracking and complete reconciliation of baggage at Airports and guarantees that passengers and their luggage are on the same flights. The SMART/BRS directs baggage from check-in counters to airplanes, between airplanes and from airplanes to baggage carousels.

The SMART/ADCS issues the bag tags with bar codes at check-in. Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) workstations enable baggage handlers to scan the bar-coded tags and determine the current position of a particular bag in real-time. The SMART/BRS provides baggage sorting systems with the bag identification data required for baggage sorting to minimize miss-sorts. It tracks baggage from flight check-in/transfer to departure and monitors the loading/unloading of bags. This enables baggage handlers and management to monitor progress in the baggage loading/un-loading processes at aircraft to identify potential problems and bottlenecks and take corrective actions as needed. It allows staff to validate bags and reprint damaged bag tags and print bag loading manifest at any time.

The SMART/BRS matches for each flight every bag that is checked in or in transit against boarded passengers and produces baggage reconciliation manifests that show any mismatches between passengers and luggage to identify bags that need to be unloaded if a passenger did not board the flight.

The SMART Airport Baggage Reconciliation System meets the needs of any modern airport and reduces operating costs by streamlining the baggage handling process and optimizes the utilization of baggage handling resources. It reduces the number of bags that is directed incorrectly and reduces departure delays and baggage claims from Airlines.
