Sectro self-service security screening

SECTRO SELF-SERVICE SECURITY SCREENING

BEUMER Group’s Sectro system is a fully automated passenger and carry-on baggage screening system design. The solution reconfigures the passenger screening process from a linear concept to a parallel process by centralising functions logically together.

STRESS OUT, AUTOMATION IN

When entering the security screening area, passengers will divest their baggage at one of the self-service stations. A touch screen guides them through the simple procedure to connect their biometric data with their baggage.

The baggage is automatically routed to a centralised system for screening. Images from the scans are fed to the remote control room. Once both passenger and carry-on baggage have been cleared, the passenger is directed to a self-service reclaim station, where their belonging will be delivered using the passenger’s unique biometric ID as reference.

If the automated baggage screening raises any issues, the passenger is instead directed into a re-check isle, where operators will be waiting to assist. Providing a separate, dedicated recheck area prevents any delays or bottlenecks for passengers moving through behind.

With its parallel process design, the Sectro solution system is capable of screening the same number of passengers per hour as in traditional serial flows, offering a much more modern passenger experience and up to 30% reduction in labour requirements.
