I wish them luck on their system! Because this type of system was tried when Denver, Colorado built their latest airport like ~10 years ago. It was a complete disaster. My boss used to work for United Airlines and was a Baggage Handling Supervisor. He was sent out there to test their automated tray system like this one, and he said that despite a lot of time put into the system, it just couldn't work reliably. They took it out and put in a regular system so the airport could open!
For their sake, I hope that the bags people try to send through the system are heavy enough and compact enough to stay on their trays / not get parts jammed in rollers, etc.
Well, this is the new system. I think they already start refining and revisioning a lot of failed aspects. Also Asia and Middle East really need a fast baggage system because during certain dates the passengers can rise a couple hundreds percents. Especially Middle East.
Alright I have a few questions 1. How much is the annual upkeep of this system compared to improving existing conveyors to run more efficiently with bar code scanners that could be used to sort each incoming luggage? 2. How fast will the wear and tear set in? 3. How much power does it consume that would benefit using this over regular conveyor belts? Now I can see this being used by UPS, DHL, FedEx etc. But as for airline luggage is concerned, you're just trying to remake the wheel.
unless you work in the baggaging at the airport, your attack saying that they are "trying to remake the wheel" is based off of baseless assumptions and you have no actual clue of how much more efficient a system like this would compare to the current baggaging system used in airports
I see TSA workers slacking off and riding empty karts on this for fun. That is if they're not too busy rummaging through your luggage in the first place.
Third, the reason why I asked about power consumption and efficiency is because current systems need little in repairs over decades, while this looks like it would go through wear and tear in no time with constant maintenance with expensive parts. Fourth, the only thing this has on belts is that it's faster, that's it! You can retrofit current conveyors to do the same and sort the luggage. Finally, the problem isn't with the system, it's with the handlers that lose the majority of the bags.
I have worked in baggage at a Logan International for a few a years before moving on to a new job, so your assumption that I know nothing about what goes on has just basically made you look like a fool. First off, individual trays for each and every luggage that passes through is idiotic, impractical and no where cost effective. Second, having to install an entire new system instead of improving and updating existing conveyors will be costly and ensure delays in incoming and outgoing flights.

i can't stop imagining how a chinese character in south park would say "what DAIFUKUUU are you doing?"
I find this more useful for industry in general

Japanese are always innovating!!!
Good for postal sorting and operations too/
No its not the only thing I know about Japan but it affects a damm sight more people than a baggage system

Cool.
the problem is when you put the baggage in the plane, thats when most stuff get lost and damaged
