This webinar will explore how the industry’s most progressive airports are moving beyond mechanical constraints toward intelligent, data-led operations

As passenger volumes continue to rise, the baggage domain has reached a critical turning point. The era of bold promises and isolated pilots is giving way to 2026: the year of execution.

For airport baggage leaders, the challenge is no longer just moving bags, but building a connected, software-driven ecosystem that is resilient to disruption and capable of relentless productivity.

This webinar will explore how the industry’s most progressive airports are moving beyond mechanical constraints toward intelligent, data-led operations. We will dive into the practical application of AI, robotics, and computer vision to show how these technologies are being anchored into daily operations to improve turn reliability, safety, and passenger trust.

Join us to learn how to transition your baggage handling system (BHS) from a reactive cost-driver into a proactive, predictable asset.

Key learning points:

• Moving from experimentation to execution: Why 2026 is the pivotal year for proving automation and AI in live operations to build a scalable foundation for the next decade.

• AI and decision science: Learn how machine learning is shifting from a buzzword to a decision-support tool, assisting professionals in navigating vast data sets to forecast peaks and mitigate disruptions before they occur.

• Targeted robotics for high-impact tasks: Discover how to apply task-level automation—such as robotic induction and automated container loading—to reduce manual strain and stabilise throughput during peak periods.

• Infrastructure modernisation (ICS & EBS): Explore the benefits of Individual Carrier Systems (ICS) and high-density Early Baggage Storage (EBS) in increasing sortation speed, accuracy, and sequence control.

• Computer vision and “baggage biometrics”: See how advanced camera networks are replacing traditional barcode scanning to provide real-time analysis of baggage flows and detect misrouted bags instantly.

• The “connected bag” and end-to-end visibility: Gain insights into the exponential growth of Electronic Bag Tags (EBTs) and IoT sensors, moving tracking from an experiment to a baseline passenger standard.

• Off-airport processing: Examine the structural shift of moving baggage processing away from the terminal to homes, hotels, and train stations to improve convenience and terminal efficiency.
