Pteris Global - Baggage Handling Systems (BHS), In-Flight Catering Systems and Air Cargo Handling Systems

With over 150 airports logistics projects spanning across six continents and more than 40 countries, Pteris Global has a proven record as the leading airport logistics provider in the provision of outstanding airport bagagge handling systems (BHS) for international airports around the world.

Airport baggage handling systems (BHS)

We work in close consultation with our customers to design systems using the sophisticated 3D-simulation program. We believe that the key benefits of an intelligent BHS are in its ability to identify and overcome capacity and bottleneck constraints, meet security considerations, and ensures low operating and maintenance costs.

Our system integration capabilities also extend to BHS projects integrating 100% hold bag screening systems, which cater to the stringent security environment of today's airports.

Our maintenance diagnostic system, a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on-line diagnostic solution, can be used by our service and maintenance engineers to monitor the operational status of your system online by accessing the airport servers, via the Internet, from anywhere in the world.

With decades of experience in designing BHS around the world, you can be assured of seamlessly integrated systems that ensure safe tracking and transportation of your passengers' baggage to the right airplane, at the right time.

In-flight catering systems

As the world's number-one provider for automated material handling systems for in-flight catering facilities, we designed our systems with customers' requirements in mind and strive to perform beyond client's expectations. Our integrated systems and solutions are specially designed to optimise performance, streamline operations and minmise costs.

Material handling systems for in-flight catering

Our fully automated material handling systems for in-flight catering are custom-designed to ensure seamless transportation of materials across work areas in the facility, as required by the work flow and operation processes.

1. In-flight catering warehouse management systems

Our computerised warehouse management systems intelligently facilitate the operations of receiving goods, storage, order picking and automated traffic between the store and the production area.

2. In-flight catering equipment and bar goods storage

Washed equipment and cutlery items can be sorted and packed, and bar carts replenished with dry goods and amenities. Fresh supplies of these items come from the high bay store.

3. In-flight tray-setting equipment

Tray-setting equipment receives washed items from the ware-wash and equipment packing areas as well as dry goods from the high bay store.

The production operations start in the in-bound where items are stripped from the carts to be washed. The washed items are sorted and packed into bins and these are identified at the central ID stations, so that they can be automatically delivered to their specific destinations in other parts of the production area.

4. In-flight tray handling systems

Our systems use thermoplastic food-grade chain belt conveyors to transport trays loaded with hot food to an in-line buffer for storage and retrieved. These chain belts are specially made to handle hot conveyances and are resistant to most chemicals used in washing.

The control and monitoring system (CMS) computer system integrates the automated functions of all the conveyor systems and the automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS). It provides a monitoring system for the automated system support and maintenance functions.

The store management and control system (SMCS) is a computer system for warehousing and material control as well as management functions. The CMS and the SMCS are linked to achieve an integrated automated material-handling and management system for the catering facility.
