Are you looking for a solution that can help your baggage handling systems keep up with growing demands? Continue reading to see how Brock Solutions helped Winnipeg Richardson International Airport enhance the performance its baggage handling system.
The Challenge:
A Lagging Bagging Handling System (BHS)
Winnipeg Airport was looking to enhance the efficiency of its BHS, which was operating on an outdated High Level and Lower Level Controls system. This necessitated the need for new servers, new PLCs, and an IT infrastructure upgrade.
Brock’s Approach:
Bring the Airport’s BHS Environment up to the Latest Standards
After performing a system audit, Brock Solutions developed new PLC code and recontroled the problem areas, followed by an upgrade from ControlNet to Ethernet. In parallel, the High Level Controls system was updated to support the new configuration, bringing the BHS up to the latest software standards.
The Solution:
A Robust Baggage Handling System
Upgrading to the latest version of SmartSort and Ignition HMI provided airport stakeholders with better visibility into the system. Innovative new features, including HMI Replay and BHS Map Replay, empower stakeholders to perform root cause analyses to find the answers to, “What happened and why?”
The Outcome:
Significantly Improved System Performance & Supportability
These benefits translate to better on-time performance for airlines and an overall better passenger experience, supporting Winnipeg Richardson International Airport in providing the best possible value to its passengers and airline partners!
