Airport Solutions

Allied Automation designs and integrates airport automation solutions that improve baggage and cargo flow, reduce manual handling, increase traceability and support operational resilience. Our modular systems can include conveyors, sortation, scanning, tracking, robotics and software integration across baggage halls, cargo terminals and support logistics areas.

What Is Airport Automation?

Airport automation refers to systems that streamline how baggage, cargo and materials move through airport environments. It reduces reliance on manual handling, improves traceability, and stabilises performance during peak loads or disruption scenarios.

Airport automation often includes:

  • Automated conveying and routing

  • Sortation and diverting

  • Scanning and tracking

  • Software orchestration (WCS/WES/WMS integrations)

  • Safety and compliance controls

Where Airport Automation Makes the Biggest Difference

Airport environments typically struggle with variability, peaks, and strict service-level targets. Automation is most valuable when you need to:

  • Reduce baggage mishandling and improve traceability

  • Increase throughput during peak arrival/departure waves

  • Improve turnaround times and reduce delays caused by baggage/cargo movement

  • Reduce manual handling in high-risk or high-volume zones

  • Stabilise performance during staffing constraints

  • Improve operational visibility through scanning, tracking and reporting

Airport Automation Solutions We Deliver

Baggage Handling & Routing

Conveying, merges/diverts and routing logic to keep baggage moving efficiently between key handling areas.

Baggage Screening & Tracking Enablement

Scanning points, tracking events and integration-ready checkpoints to improve chain-of-custody visibility.

Air Cargo & Freight Automation

Automated flow for cartons, parcels, and ULD-related processes within cargo terminals and logistics zones.

Sortation for Routing & Consolidation

Automated sorting for baggage/cargo routing, consolidation, and lane management where applicable.

Robotics for Support Logistics

AMRs/AGVs for internal transport in support areas (spares, consumables, equipment movement), depending on site constraints.

Software Integration & Orchestration

Integration with operational systems to coordinate flow, monitor performance, and surface bottlenecks.

Design Considerations for Airport Automation

Consideration Why it matters
Peak volume patterns Determines throughput and buffering needs
Layout constraints  Impacts conveyor routing and footprint
Traceability requirements Dictates scan points and event tracking
Exception handling Prevents disruption when things go wrong
Safety and compliance Controls, guarding, and operational procedures
Integration scope Links to operational systems for visibility and control

Airport Automation FAQ

Yes. We typically design modular phases to minimise disruption.

Not necessarily. Many solutions can be integrated into existing layouts or upgraded incrementally.

Yes. We design around your current operational platforms and workflows.

No. Cargo terminals and support logistics areas can benefit heavily from automation too.
