Flexco

IASEA had an interview with an established company among the material handling industries, the Alstef Group. In this interview, the company discussed its role in the future of baggage handling and other projects that accelerated the airport passenger experience. Let's take a look at the company's thoughts about the airport industry.

Q: What role does Flexco play in redefining the future of baggage handling? 

Flexco has a technology that significantly reduces conveyor transfer point-related baggage jams, baggage damage, and amnesty-related conveyor belt damage. The Flexco Segmented Transfer Plate has been successfully deployed in Baggage Handling Systems (BHS) in the SEA region with great success.

Q: How can Asia adopt this game-changing solution to make faster connections? 

Keeping baggage flowing through the BHS is paramount to keeping flights on time and the passenger experience positive. Please reach out to Flexco today to set up a conveyor baggage handling system audit.

 

Q: What is the most innovative and forward-thinking project Flexco has delivered to date, and as a result, how has it accelerated airport operation efficiency? 

It is the installation of the Flexco Segmented Transfer Plate solution at Jakarta’s Seokarno-Hatta International Airport. Units installed at the check-in desk and throughout the baggage handling system have greatly improved worker safety, cut down on baggage jams, and cut down on label and baggage amnesty buildup at conveyor transfer points.

 

Q: How is Asia faring compared to their European counterparts in terms of the optimization of baggage handling systems and technology? 

Airports in Asia were among the first to implement technologies to improve baggage handling systems. Implementation of Flexco’s Segmented Transfer Plates and Novitool® belt splicing technologies is greatly improving BHS efficiency at the airport sites that have made investments in these forward-thinking technologies.
