Back in the 1980’s Datalogic famously created Europe’s very first automatic barcode reading system for a Baggage Handling System (BHS) at Milan Linate airport in Italy. This knowledge has greatly evolved over the years, and now Datalogic is one of the leaders when it comes to Baggage Handling System (BHS) solutions.

There is a complete range of readers, scanners, and RFI-based solutions to cover every technological need. The modular design of Datalogic products allows for easy customization, for both software and hardware. For instance, in scenarios where reduced clearance is required, Datalogic provides specific accessories to ensure short-distance reading is handled with ease.

This is just one of many examples of airport-specific solutions provided by Datalogic. Others include check-in counters, baggage arrival tracking, and baggage reconciliation. The next time you are at the airport take a close look around, and when you see any Datalogic hardware rest assured that you are in good hands.

Automatic Tag Reading (ATR) systems are able to detect both Barcode label and RFID tag:

  • Barcode Laser Technology
    Barcode laser technology represents a cost-effective and reliable solution which is able to guarantee good performance especially on check-in labels. Reading performances are compliant with IATA 1740a recommended practice.
  • RFID Technology
    RFID technology provides highest read rate even when tag is not visible to laser view line. Optimized antenna and tracking software deliver unsurpassed performances with tag compliant to IATA1740c RFID recommended practice.

ATR imager-based barcode readers provide the highest level of performance even on damaged labels. Camera technology is capable of value added image based functionalities such as supporting OCR and Videocoding. Optional RFID technology helps to provide highest reading rate (not directly visible label) by adding BHS RFID KIT.
