There is a better place...
- where baggage handling is a well-oiled machine.
BETTER BAGGAGE
Keep your baggage infrastructure running at full capacity with Better Baggage: The future of baggage management systems.
Imagine a baggage management system that keeps baggage flows balanced and baggage handling systems running smoothly. A system that enables smooth, dynamic, and flexible baggage planning, baggage reclaim, and reduced reclaim wait times. This is Better Baggage: The baggage management system to keep your baggage infrastructure running at full capacity.
Better Baggage is a cloud-based SaaS solution accessible through your preferred web browser. The baggage management system is designed for strategic, tactical, and operational planning. The solution analyzes all baggage flows, and helps you understand where and why bottlenecks occur and how to improve the flow of your baggage handling system. This allows you to make well-informed planning decisions and keep your baggage handling running like a well-oiled machine.
Better Baggage is part of Better Airport® – the world’s leading airport connected operations platform for airport operators.
Three key benefits for your airport:
Make data-driven short- and long-term decision – understand your future needs while ensuring optimal day-to-day operations.
Easy internal and external co-operation – get everyone on your team on the same page while collaborating with handling agents and other third parties.
Save time and money with automation – allocate a full week's worth of resources in seconds by eliminating manual processes.
Better Baggage Reclaim: Faster reclaim, happier passengers
In many airports, suboptimal baggage handling flows cause unnecessary, long wait times for passengers at baggage reclaim. The first bag/last bag timestamps are unreliable; the baggage reclaim belt allocation is fixed, and the plan is difficult to adapt to the inbound flight arrival times. Better Baggage Reclaim is the solution to these issues — and much, much more.
By analyzing baggage load and passenger arrival curves, Better Baggage Reclaim gives you a fast and easy way to streamline the reclaim experience and optimize the flow of your baggage handling. The plan automatically updates based on the latest arrival times, bag load, and passenger data. This enables you to evenly distribute your baggage handling infrastructure and improve the passenger experience at reclaim. And when a belt does get congested, Better Baggage alerts you so you can act quickly. This helps to reduce wait times, free up capacity, and improve passenger satisfaction at your airport.
Optimize your outbound infrastructure
With accurate daily forecasting of incoming bag numbers, Better Baggage is the baggage management system that enables your airport to optimize its make-up positions (MUP), early bag storage (EBS) set-up, and baggage handling flows. Switching from seasonal planning to dynamic daily planning means you’re always using your MUP resources optimally while your EBS is never overloaded. A live integration also allows for data-driven decision-making on the spot.
A cloud-based SaaS solution, Better Baggage requires no on-site installation and is accessible through your preferred web browser. All users are looking at and working with the same updated plans. The baggage management system produces plans automatically upon calibration and eliminates manual processes. This enables baggage MUP allocation to be done in 30 minutes for a full week, allowing you to optimize your outbound infrastructure, optimize the potential of your baggage handling system, and bring your baggage management into the future.
