SIMCORE will be sponsoring the Airport Process Masters organised by econique. The business value conference will be held at Frankfurt between the 2nd and 3rd of February 2009.
The Airport Process Masters conference is addressed to all executives in the areas of operations, infrastructure, strategy, security and terminal operations of international airports. Current hot topics regarding the new requirements and challenges of international airports included in the conference are baggage handling automation and capacity management, security processes, and passenger flow optimisation.
Airport passenger and baggage flows suffer due to two important developments. The worldwide restrictions on hand baggage cause more main baggage to be checked-in. Baggage processes will quickly be brought to breaking point as the current conveyor systems are not suitable for the amount of baggage.
Besides more baggage, airport terminals are confronted with a higher number of passengers. Current terminals are not equipped to cope with this increasing amount. Airport passengers must be more thoroughly controlled because of new security laws, but simultaneously want quicker transfer times. New processes and technology which cope with the new requirements are urgently needed. The global conference from econique offers case studies and interactive evening sessions from airport executives on this issue.
SIMCORE will share its own knowledge by presenting how PAX2SIM is used to better size airports, reduce the cost and optimise passenger process and baggage flows.
