Industrial robot arms and application cells for baggage, cargo, and retail handling: ABB’s articulated industrial robots (for example IRB class robots) are typically deployed as part of an integrated cell with conveyors, sensors, and custom grippers to handle items reliably at scale, and ABB has showcased airport scenarios including automated baggage loading concepts and automated click and collect duty free order retrieval where a robot picks pre packed orders after a barcode scan.

Autonomous Mobile Robots for airport back of house intralogistics: ABB’s AMRs are positioned for logistics movement of racks, pallets, and boxes inside facilities, which maps to airport back of house flows such as moving goods between receiving, storage, staging, and dispatch areas in airport retail supply, catering, and cargo zones, typically coordinated via fleet style management.

Robotics software and simulation for design and commissioning: ABB’s robotics software stack supports programming and simulation workflows so automation layouts and robot motions can be validated before deployment, which helps reduce commissioning risk and downtime in live airport operations when building baggage or retail automation cells.
