New Indian Express said that officials do not need to be present at the baggage belt and can remotely detect suspicious baggage.

The system has a dedicated ‘reject loop’ that offers an extra bag holding capacity to transfer multiple bags.

This does not result in the congestion of bags on the belt, unlike conventional systems.

The system provides CCTV feed of baggage flow, a suspected baggage tracking system and a communication system.
