A Design and Development of Baggage Sorting Robotic System at the Airport

摘要

The automation has a vital role in making the execution faster with better efficiency. In airport luggage sorting system the automation can be very helpful in sorting and identifying the luggage economically at faster rate. The authors have tried to implement a novel technique not only in terms of applying the robotic system for sorting but also a new sorting technique implemented with robot. The techniques like radio frequency identification (RFID) detection-based sorting with robots have been a challenge to implement. Therefore, the proposed technique called as Voltage ID (VID) mapped based sorting can be easy to implent. The wide range of voltage IDs can be generated with respect to varying baggage weight on different cities conveyors at the airport. This developed system can be applied for 20 different cities without the use of additional board. The authors have tried to make the system flexible so that it can be implemented not only in airport industry but also in the bus industry and related industries where luggage handling is involved.
