Herbert Systems Launches TRS Automatic Tray Return
UK-based Herbert Systems has launched its Herbert TRS automatic tray return system. The new system brings airport operators a range of valuable benefits at airport security checkpoints, including reducing queuing and stress, speeding passenger throughput, significantly reducing manual handling – and cutting out major capital costs.
The Herbert TRS is a highly flexible modular system for handling cabin baggage that is designed to eliminate the bottlenecks and stress that can occur at security checkpoints, move passengers through the area at greater speed and, at the same time, free up security staff to spend less time moving trays and more time maintaining a security presence. The trays are an IATA standard size, which allows more space for the passengers’ belongings whilst acting as a gauge for some airlines that restrict the size of baggage in the cabin.
Gatwick Deploys Iris
Recognition AOptix Technologies, Inc. and Human Recognition Systems Ltd. (HRS), have announced their successful implementation integrating the AOptix InSight® VM iris recognition system into 34 automated e-Gates at Gatwick Airport South Terminal. AOptix was selected by HRS for their ability to bring a time saving, enhanced passenger experience to the world’s busiest single-runway airport. With the goal of improving the overall airport experience for millions of travellers, the InSight VM is integrated into MFlow Track, developed by HRS for positive passenger identification as part of Gatwick Airport’s automated security process. The AOptix-HRS approach delivers a highly accurate match of passenger to boarding pass on a remarkably consistent basis. Designed for ease of use and high throughput, the system is intended to create secure, customer friendly passage into the international departure lounge area where passengers can shop, dine, and relax prior to boarding their flights. “Already passengers are spending on average less than five minutes in security” said Geoff Williams, Head of Security at Gatwick Airport. “With our new spacious preparation area and 19 security lanes, some of which are designed to assist families with young children and premium travellers, the new technology will help increase the efficiency of the security operation and provide a better service."
