The Sibag Cross baggage sorting system ensures fast and safe baggage handling in airports. The hybrid tray solution is a combination container system and crossbelt conveyor. The belt moves without an electric motor, which means reduced energy consumption and low operating costs – with a highly reliable and flexible system.

Siemens and the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR – German Aerospace Center) worked together to develop Siamos, the Siemens Airport Management and Operations Software that flexibly adapts airport operation to managerial goals. Siamos permits direct energy savings and a sustained increase in efficiency. The Vienna International Airport, for example, was able to achieve energy savings of over 20 percent. Further advantages of Siamos include five tons less jet fuel consumed per hour and runway thanks to shorter waiting times. In addition, flights are up to 20 percent more punctual.

The fully automated passenger transport systems from Siemens have the capacity to transport 30,000 passengers per hour and direction. Another advantage of the vehicles being used for Airval airport shuttles and Cityval trains is their low energy consumption. The vehicle brakes are operated electrically and the braking energy is stored for subsequent accelerations.

Rail connections to and from airports are a reliable and attractive alternative to traveling by private car or taxi. At the same time, they help reduce pollution in urban centers. And if, for example as in Bangkok, you can check your bags in the city, the system is especially convenient for passengers. Thanks to an innovative logistics system from Siemens, baggage is automatically loaded onto the Airport Rail Link, transported to the airport in an environmentally responsible manner, and then transferred to the baggage system.
