By GlobalDataThe self-service systems have been designed by Materna IPS in collaboration with numerous partners in accordance with the airport’s needs.
Last month, the systems went live with Southwest Airlines followed by United Airlines.
During the first two weeks, Materna IPS systems managed more than 35,000 bags, reducing the average passenger transaction time by half at the airport.
Furthermore, Southwest Airlines plans to install the Materna IPS SBD Application to run the new automated baggage handling process.
Materna IPS will also oversee the self-bag drop system within the AWS Cloud where the functionality and the availability of the SBD units are continuously checked.
