Abu Dhabi Airports has deployed a new automated tray return system (ATRS) to accelerate the process of hand luggage screening at Terminal 3 in Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH).
This new system enables baggage to be processed more than four times faster than the regular screening lanes, thereby reducing the wait times and congestion, and offering an easy travel experience for passengers.

By GlobalDataThe system also features two buffer stations, seven redress stations for cleared trays, four reject stations for suspicious trays, and two search stations.
Operating with a Hi-Scan 7555 aTix machine, this system is equipped with two operator work stations allocated remotely in an imaging room, through which live images can be separately analysed.
If a tray has suspicious contents, these can be diverted to the search area for further probing, away from the cleared lane.
