Case Study: Eastern European Airport achieves reliable baggage handling automation with Brightgrove

Dedicated team to automate the baggage handling system for a large european airport

Eastern European Airport, one of the busiest airports in the world, needed a new baggage handling system for a new terminal and required custom PLC re-coding to make it work reliably under 24/7, high-volume operations. To deliver this business-critical automation, the airport partnered with Brightgrove, using Siemens SIMATIC PLCs with C and WinCC-based development.

Brightgrove assembled a dedicated team of senior PLC engineers to build, prototype, test, and refine the automation modules, working closely with the airport and its system integrator. The solution was integrated on time and within budget, and Brightgrove stayed onsite around the launch to monitor performance and support the rollout. The result was a highly reliable, scalable baggage handling system that handled growing baggage loads and supported the airport’s expansion and revenue growth.
