Abstract: There is disclosed agiotage and retrieval system e.g. suitable for use in an airport and for aircraft baggage. In order e.g. to provide such system which improves usage and availability in view of the prior-art, a control system controls the system in two modes of operation. In a first mode of operation, a first rack region serving device (110) is only serving a first rack region 104 using a first feeding and extraction conveyor system (114), and a second rack region serving device (112) is only serving a second rack region (106) using a second feeding and extraction conveyor system (116). In a second mode of operation, only the first rack region serving device (110) is used for serving both the first and second rack regions (104, 106), and only the first feeding and extraction conveyor system (114) is used for feeding articles to the first rack region serving device (110) and for taking away articles from the first rack region serving device (110).

Abstract: The invention relates to a sorting system of the support structure type, which includes known sorting systems such as tray type sorting systems. They include a track along which carts and support structures are conveyed. Cover plates are arranged to close gaps between the support structures, also when the support structures are conveyed through curved sections, so that conveyed items are prevented from falling through the gaps. The invention further involves a gap closing kit for a support structure sorting system. The invention also involves a method of providing a support structure sorting system having a gap substantially closed between at least two support structures. The cover plates are connected to the support structures by leading systems as well as connected to guiding systems, which guiding systems have one part fixated to an adjacent cart. The support structures, the guiding systems and the leading systems are configured to control movement of the cover plates relative to the support structures in order to close a gap between adjacent support structures, when conveyed in sections of a track, which track may have only horizontal straight and curved sections, or include inclined or declined straight or curved sections.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of passengers (118) claiming their baggage pieces (115) at an aircraft baggage claim area (106) of an airport. In order e.g. to provide such method which improves usage and availability and user experience in view of reference systems, the method includes providing (706) a plurality of destinations (16) at the aircraft baggage claim area of the airport and along each of two lateral sides (112), (114) of the material handling equipment, and choosing (708) towards which of the two lateral sides (112), (114) the one or more pieces of aircraft baggage (15) should be automatically and actively discharged into at least one of the plurality of destinations (116). The method further includes actively discharging (710) the one or more pieces of aircraft baggage (115) from the material handling equipment and into at least one of the destinations (116), and that the one or more aircraft passengers (118) are claiming (712) the one or more pieces of aircraft baggage (115) paired with the one or more aircraft passengers at the at least one destination when the one or more pieces of aircraft baggage is at rest and has stopped moving.

Abstract: The invention relates to a line sorter for sorting items of various shapes, sizes and weights, in particular postal parcels or airport baggage. The invention is particularly related to the propulsion system (304, 306, 406) for the sorter. It may be seen as an object of the invention to provide a line sorter with a reduced need for energy input at a given sorting capacity. It is disclosed that a closed loop chain including sorting carts or slats (302) is provided with couplings (312) and is provided for moving along line sorter track sections. The linear synchronous motor propulsion system is provided for moving said closed loop chain, and a gap between adjacent permanent magnets (306) is the same or substantially the same between each of the permanent magnets.

Abstract: The invention provides a computer implemented method for test of a control system for a logistics system. The method comprises testing (TST1, TST2) one or more low level control (LLC) software parts by simultaneously emulating a high level (HLE) response, emulating a low level emulating (LLE) response, and interfacing (INF) said HLE and low level emulation LLE. The interfacing (INF) of the HLE and LLE, comprises two-way exchanging a plurality of parameters (P) indicative of items to be handled in the logistics system between the HLE and the LLE. With such interfacing of a HLE for testing of a high level control (HLC) software of the logistics system, and the LLE for, it is possible to provide a realistic test and tuning of LLC software parts, e.g. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) code, before the physical elements of a complex logistics system is built, e.g. an airport baggage handling system. This can reduce time and costs involved in final testing and tuning of parameters in the LLC software parts on-site, when the total system has been built.

Abstract: The invention relates to a line sorter for sorting items of various shapes, sizes and weights, in particular postal parcels or airport baggage. The line sorter (102) has a closed loop of coupled sorting carts or slats provided for moving along a loop track formed by an upper track section (104), a lower track section (106), one end track section connecting the upper and lower track sections at each of two ends of the line sorter, and one or more adjustment elements also forming part of the track loop. One of the end track sections 108, 109 can be longitudinally displaced relative to the upper and lower track sections to increase or decrease the resulting length of the track loop. The adjustment element(s) (210, 211) is movably mounted between said end track section and an adjacent upper or lower track section. A wedge shaped portion of the adjustment element is arranged for adjustable engagement with a correspondingly shaped portion of said end track section, or the upper or lower track section. This allows adjustment of a length of the track loop in accordance with displacement of said end track section, and still close a gap in the track by means of the adjustment element.

Abstract: In order, e.g., to improve distribution of baggage in an airport, a solution comprises positioning two or more empty totes above each other, so that the two or more empty totes are supported by a tote station by support members 206, determining, by a control system, when either a single empty tote should be released from the tote station or two or more empty totes should be released from the tote station together and at once, and in response to the determination releasing single empty totes from the tote station or releasing two or more empty totes on top of each other from the tote station. A lowermost 1604 of the two or more empty totes on top of each other supports one or more empty totes 1606 on top of it and the lowermost empty tote is, when released, supported by a support conveyor 204.
