Baggage scanner systems help to increase security and improve the baggage handling process. Flex.Beam is a flexible automatic scanner solution by Materna IPS.
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.
