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)

Pteris Global works in close consultation with its customers to design systems using the sophisticated 3D-simulation programme. It believes the key benefits of an intelligent BHS are its ability to identify and overcome capacity and bottleneck constraints, meet security considerations, and ensure low operating and maintenance costs.

Pteris Global 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.

The maintenance diagnostic system, a 24-hours a day, seven days a week on-line diagnostic solution, can be used by Pteris Global 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.

Being an integrator, Pteris Global specialises in configuring systems and assembling different types of equipment together.

In-flight catering systems

Pteris Global designs its systems with customer requirements in mind and strives to perform beyond their expectations. The integrated systems and solutions are specially designed to optimise performance, streamline operations and minimise costs.

The 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 workflow and operation processes.

In-flight catering warehouse management systems

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

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.

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.

In-flight tray handling systems

The 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.
