Siemens Logistics will also deploy advanced warehouse management software. 

The five-year order involves technical support for a 140km-long conveyor system, along with tray and belt technology, and more than 17,000 drives. 

Madrid-Barajas is said to be one of the busiest airports in Europe.

The airport already uses Siemens Logistics’ SmartTray condition monitoring tool, which inspects, captivates and evaluates data of the conveyor systems during baggage operations.
