KEY OFFERINGS

Baggage Tray System (BTS/ICS): High-speed (up to 10m/s or 600m/min) tray-based transport/sortation from check-in to makeup, RFID for 100% tracking, gentle handling to prevent damage; ideal for inter-terminal use.
Automated Storage Retrieval Systems (AS/RS): High-density vertical storage (shuttle rack/crane-based, 30-33 bags/min), fault-tolerant for peak traffic.
Bag-UX AI Vision: Analyzes bags pre-induction for prohibited items/shapes, prevents jams/damage via AI cameras and conveyor pauses.
Self-Service Bag Drop (Drop-UX T): Compact kiosks with scales/labeling for contactless check-in.
Sortation/Conveyors/Carousels: Belt/tilt-tray sorters, EDS-integrated security lines, SCADA simulation for resilient ops

/USE CASES

Daifuku's systems operate at 500+ airports; recent examples include Gold Coast Airport (OOL). Daifuku designed, supplied, installed, and supports a self-service bag drop system at Gold Coast Airport (OOL), Australia's fifth-busiest airport serving 6.5 million passengers yearly. The project, with a $1 million USD investment as of April 2024, deployed 24 units of the latest Drop UX P-Series, processing over 80,000 bags monthly to streamline check-in and enhance traveler experience ahead of events like the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
