Crisplant, part of BEUMER Group, will provide highly redundant CrisBelt transport lines and a hold-baggage screening system in order to ensure safe and efficient operation, the company said.
The latest-generation CrisBag system will be used for all subsequent sortation, which ensures the highest level of availability, the shortest transport times and 100% track and trace capability.
Featuring an early baggage store, it also enables passengers who arrive early to instantly check in their bags and proceed through to the terminal’s airside areas.
The recent agreement follows a successful contract for Terminal 3, where CrisBag serves a dual role as a baggage sorting system and as an extensive inter-terminal transfer baggage system connecting Terminals 1, 2 and 3.
