The Delhi international airport has been installing an integrated cart system (ICS) at its Terminal-1 for baggage handling that has high speed, high capacity and more reliability, DIAL said on Friday. “The radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled ICS ensures error-less sorting of baggage,” Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) said in a statement.
The new hi-tech system will operate at a speed of 2.1 metres per second and sort up to 6,000 bags per hour, it mentioned.
“The existing conveyor system i.e., traditional belt system operates at a speed of 0.5 metres per second,” it noted.
