Quicker to the stadium

General contractor Hydrobudowa Polska S.A. has decided to use the BEUMER autover® baggage transport system at Gdansk Airport to ensure reliable and quick baggage handling for the European Football Championship 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.

BEUMER, the international leader in the manufacture of intralogistics will supply and install a rail system with a length of 506 metres, 44 vehicles - the so-called BEUMER autoca®, as well as 20 induction belt conveyors and 12 destinations. The visual display system and the host system (SAC - Sort Allocation Computer) are also part of the scope of supply. A BEUMER service team will supervise and maintain the complete baggage handling system on site over a period of more than five years. The system is scheduled for operation by February 2012.

The BEUMER autover® transports, stores and sorts the checked baggage gently, economically, quickly and reliably. The intelligent BEUMER autoca® are equipped with an on-board-controller and discrete drive unit. They move autonomously, silently and independent of each other through the rail system at a speed of up to 10 metres. The system is highly available and requires little maintenance, due to the contactless energy supply. This state-of-the-art system will take care of baggage handling at Gdansk Airport, just in time for the European Football Championship 2012.
