CCM is presenting two new products at Passenger Terminal Expo for streamlining the bag-drop process. The first is the Self Service Repack Station. An all-new concept, it gives passengers with overweight bags a place to repack them without holding up the main queue. The second product, a bag drop and check-in counter, has been redesigned with modular features.

The Repack Station solves the problem of passengers going to the self-bag drop and only discovering there that their bags are too heavy.

Systems integrator IECISA (Informatica El Corte Ingles) is showcasing its biometric passenger journey technology at this year’s expo. It consists of biometrics software for automated gates and the ‘PassFly’ app to allow passengers to record their biometric data before they arrive at the airport.

Both work together to allow passengers to ‘keep walking’. In other words, they can walk through the airport without ever needing to stop to scan passes or be manually identified.

ISO Software Systeme is launching a PRM (passengers with restricted mobility) module for its SKYPort software suite at the expo. It aims to make the handling of PRMs faster, improving passenger experience.

The system has two elements. On the one hand, there is a module for the team dispatching staff to the right place and making up personnel rostering. The system integrates with ISO’s AODB to parse incoming IATA Type B messages and automate this operation as much as possible.

People tracking specialist Xovis is at Passenger Terminal Expo with a brand-new product, an object tracking solution which is still under development and is being demonstrated for the first time at the expo.

The technology uses ultra-wide band (UWB) beacons which can be attached to everything from trolleys and wheelchairs to canine units or even staff. The beacons communicate with base stations positioned throughout the airport, which have a range of up to 250m2 and allow the assets to be tracked with an accuracy of up to a couple of centimetres.

Access control company Digicon is showing its new free-flow concept ‘Multizone’ for the first time at Passenger Terminal Expo. This technology is an update to the company’s existing dFlow and dViator gates.

The gates work according to an open-door principle, where the gates only close when non-validated passengers try to walk through. According to export sales manager Bernardo Balejos Frantz, this allows for a flow of approximately 45 people per minute, rather than the more usual 20.

Guinault-Lebrun (GL) is mostly known for its mobile ground support equipment (GSE), but will use Passenger Terminal Expo 2018 to present some of its new fixed equipment, such as the SA 400Hz converter and its range of pre-conditioned air (PCA) units.

Aircraft engines or auxiliary power units (APU) are an inefficient way to supply electrical power to parked aircraft. GL’s SA 400Hz Converter can operate in the most extreme environments and can be installed in a variety of locations: under passenger boarding bridges on the tarmac, on a control room floor or in maintenance hangers.

Queue management specialist Tensator will bring its new Tensator Micam Protection (TMP) panelling system to Passenger Terminal Expo 2018.

Ideal for incorporating into an airport’s queuing environment or for use as a wall lining solution, TMP responds to the growing terrorist threat in airports by providing a blast-resistant queuing solution that can better protect bystanders and contain potential hazards in the event of an explosion.

TMP uses reinforced glass fiber to ensure the barriers are strong enough to absorb the force of a blast without shattering.
