Due to the multiple printer setup, Flex.Kiosk can handle both, 1-step and 2-step processing. Depending on the costumers´ requirements other technologies such as biometrics, RFID and Chip and PIN payment can be added as well. With its multi-functional approach, the kiosk adapts to any customer requirement and can be set up on different locations.
Retrofit SBD solutions
When airports and airlines want to use existing check-in counters for self bag drop we can offer a variety of retrofit solutions to handle quick and easy baggage drop-off. These systems are easy to fit and are perfectly suited to the airport environment.
Drop.Go series
Our Drop.Go series provides freestanding self-service bag drop systems for quick and easy 1- or 2-step processes with optional printing.
The solutions are easy to fit and integrate into existing check-in counters without making any changes to existing hardware installations. They are equipped with an intuitive application and touch display. All variants can be upgraded so that passengers can operate the devices completely touchless.
Freestanding self-service bag drop for quick and easy two-step processes. Passengers print out their bag tags at a check-in kiosk before they use the Drop.Go station to drop off their luggage. It consists of easily fitted self-service stations to add to existing check-in counters. Here, the passenger just scans the bag tag and the bag is ready to go. More than 10 million bags have already been checked in using this Drop.Go A version.
Freestanding two-step self-service bag drop with integrated printers to print out bag tags. This solution can be fitted quickly and easily to provide self-service stations at existing check-in counters. It is equipped with printers and hand scanners.
The smallest version for self-service bag drop. With a light and transparent design Drop.Go C has been developed for 2-step processes and can easily be mounted on existing check-in counters without any changes to hardware installations. Passengers who have already printed out their bag tags use the hand scanner to read their tags and take just a few seconds to drop off their luggage.
Automatic Scanning solution
Baggage scanner systems help to increase security and improve the baggage handling process. Flex.Beam is a flexible automatic scanner solution by IPS a SITA company.
Flex.Beam
Flex.Beam is the perfect way to extend retrofit SBD installations by adding automated scanning functions for both baggage and bag tags.
Flex.Beam comes with a slim housing which is mounted at a height of approximately 2 meters above the conveyor belt ensuring perfect access to the baggage conveyor system. It uses several high-resolution industrial cameras to detect objects. Single mounted cameras are responsible for reading barcodes on bag tags. An additional stereo camera set can be fitted in the center of the unit. The stereo camera set takes two images of the baggage item simultaneously, both from slightly different angles, to obtain depth information. Utilizing its innovative detection logic, the Flex.Beam not only reliably reads bag tags but also provides advanced conveyability information such as baggage volume measurement and classification, multiple bag and tub detection. It is also capable of reporting user interference during the baggage check-in process. Flex.Beam is an optimal add-on solution for customers using SBD’s which do not yet have automatic scan functions.
Bag tag printing solution
More and more passengers are checking in before they even arrive at the airport. Following the two-step approach in our automated baggage handling process, passengers then just need to print out their bag tag at one of our bag tag machines before dropping off their luggage. This helps the airport to reduce queues and improve passenger comfort.
Tag.Go
Our Tag.Go kiosk serves as the 1st step of a 2-step solution.
Tag.Go is easy to use and can be operated completely touchless. Passengers simply scan their boarding pass and print their bag tags. The hardware solution (scanners and printers) can be customized to suit the airport´s needs. It offers storage space for bag tag rolls and a waste bin. Its small footprint also means Tag.Go is easy to integrate into any airport environment.
Tag.Go Mini
The Tag.Go Mini series is specifically designed as the 1st step of a 2-step SBD process and embraces the power of BYOD.
Tag.Go Mini enabling passengers to effortlessly scan boarding passes and print bag tags using their smartphones thanks to the Touchless.Connect feature. The integrated smart payment option avoids costly and inflexible Chip & PIN solutions. To suit the airports environment both the exterior and interior are fully customizable, allowing personalization of material, colors, input devices, and printers.
