Sorting systems with bar code reading technology
The baggage sorting system is based on transport vehicles without drivers. This generates a decentralized control structure. At the exit the baggage container for each aircraft is already waiting. Before the passenger baggage arrives at the almost futuristic looking conveyor, it has to pass the scan tower as well as the X-ray machine.
The reading system reads the bar code tags and sends this information to a flow computer. The tags are composed of T-labels, where two identical bar codes are placed perpendicularly to one another to form a capital T, even if the scan tower would also be able to read baggage with single-labels. Bar codes must be read omni-directionally.
