Overview
UltraTrak is a baggage management system that can be used at any size of airport, across a region or a carrier's entire network.
UltraTrak improves security by positively matching the bag to the passenger and can also ensure that baggage has received the required level of screening. Should a passenger fail to board the plane, UltraTrak enables users to quickly locate and offload the bag thus reducing departure delays and greatly reducing misdirected baggage costs.
Passenger baggage can be segregated by class, destination and, if applicable, by onward connection, flight and carrier. Together with the ability to distribute information to downline airports, UltraTrak's segregation capabilities can greatly improve the efficiency of baggage handling at an airline's key hubs.
UltraTrak provides flexible baggage tracking facilities enabling users to establish the last known location of any item of baggage. A full audit trail of all baggage operations is retained to monitor process compliance and identify possible training requirements.
For short-shipped baggage, UltraTrak supports the re-flighting of baggage in line with local security procedures and automatically updates SITA's WorldTracer.
UltraTrak uses both RFID (RP1740c compliant) and bar code technologies.
UltraTrak is used in London Heathrow's Terminals 1->4 in all multi-airline ares.
Shared Systems Board, AOC, David Parish:
"Ultra has successfully met a huge challenge. Not only have the team at Ultra Electronics Airport Systems replaced the existing baggage reconciliation system with UltraTrak, they also installed their 802.11b wireless network solution across Terminals One, Two and Three within the required timescales and to the required quality of service."
