Makes trolley supply planning easier
Reduces inefficient search times for luggage trolleys
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
Every luggage trolley is equipped with an RFID tag, while every depot or collection point has an RFID reader to record data. The airport operator has an overview of the current location of their luggage trolleys at all times. This allows depots to be defined in a more customer-friendly manner, given plenty of space and filled on time. This not only reflects positively on the airport’s general image, but also increases passenger satisfaction, as they can always find a luggage trolley when they need one.
1. Trolleys in zones
The airport site is divided into individual zones. In almost real time, the system logs the amount and location of luggage trolleys on the site.
2. Trolley depots
Using an RFID reader (gateway), every collection point reports the current number of available luggage trolleys to the system.
3. Entries and exits
The system measures and evaluates the flow of trolleys between the individual zones. In almost real time, the system logs the points at which a trolley moves from one zone to the next.
Benefits of trolley tracking
1. Reduces inefficient search times for trolleys. This permits optimised
staff allocation, which in turn results in reduced operating costs.
2. Improved trolley availability increases customer satisfaction.
3. Monitoring trolley buffer areas allows spikes in traffic to be better
managed.
4. Possibility to locate trolleys in remote areas and in the vicinity of the airport:
airport operators know where their luggage trolleys are at all times.
