THE PATHFINDA BAG ORIENTATION SYSTEM

The Pathfinda bag orientation system has been developed to automate what is normally seen to be a manual operation. By automatically orientating and aligning baggage prior to scanners and X-ray machines and restricted conveyor entry points, labour can be saved and bag jams can be avoided.

The laser measuring sensors in the frame of the Pathfinda order the twin belt system to rotate the randomly presented baggage until it is orientated and presented to within the width of the X-ray system or scanner infeed area.

Whilst assisting with the manual handling problems, security is also enhanced, as the need for manual contact and handling with luggage is decreased by the Pathfinda system.

The compact design allows easy installation into existing baggage systems. Its simplistic control fully integrates with ancillary equipment making the operation user friendly and straightforward. Other features of the Pathfinda include:

• Simple integration with existing baggage equipment
• Space saving minimal footprint
• Proven reliability in commercial trials
• Aligns many types of passenger luggage
• User friendly low operator intervention
• Easy access within the orientation zone
