09 November 2009
Braunschweig – At the beginning of 2009 delair was awarded the contract for a system to optimise the use of baggage carousels. sally racetrack is a system module of the resource management system family sally, which has been applied for several years worldwide, including at Zurich International Airport. The sally racetrack module has been operating effectively since the start of the 2009-10 winter flight plan.
The system uses the same powerful and super-fast algorithm as the other modules of the sally product suite, which have proved to be successful worldwide. It is highly flexible and distinguishes itself by providing user-friendly baggage handling.
For the first time sally racetrack supplies a fully automatic planning system for baggage carousels, which allows users to avoid overload situations. Based on an efficient set of rules, sally racetrack can perform an optimum allocation of flight luggage to baggage carousels, for every particular day. If it is necessary at any point, these automatic allocations can be manually controlled by the dispatcher.
