India's Indira Gandhi International Airport has installed a hi-tech in-line baggage handling system, which speeds up the pre-departure process of passengers without compromising security in the international terminal.
The system allows smooth transfer of baggage from passenger to plane without the need to queue in for x-ray screening before check-in.
A three-level scanning process ascertains that the baggage is fully screened and marked along the way.
A combination of conveyor belts, barcode readers and in-line baggage sorters allows passengers to proceed straight to the check-in counter and receive their boarding pass while the baggage gets checked and assigned automatically, The Economic Times reports.
