After having been checked-in, bags must be screened using single-view, dual-view, explosive detection (EDS) or tomography X-ray machines, depending on the IATA standard adopted by the airport. Depending on the number of bags to be handled during peak periods or throughout the year, baggage-handling facilities should be calculated on the basis of T40 (ability to achieve continuous luggage flows apart from during the 40 busiest hours of the year). Baggage sorting is therefore conducted according to screening status: Level 0: the bag has not yet been screened Level 1: the bag has been screened and cleared Level 2: the bag has been screened and considered suspect Level 3: the bag has been screened again and cleared Level 4: the bag has been screened again and considered suspect Level 1 screening is done either automatically by a machine (standard 3) or by an operator (standard 1 and 2). In case of doubt in standard 3, the machine signals for a human operator, who has a short period of time in which to make a decision. If the operator also has doubts and requests further information, the bag is then rejected to give the operator more time to analyse it. All these rules and their ever-evolving requirements oblige airport operators to completely rethink their baggage flows. MATREX help its clients through that process to optimise the cost of investment and the baggage flow to the aeroplane. We offer automatic baggage-handling solutions of up to 2,000 bags per hour.
