Current last-mile and first-mile processes

• Semi-automatic tools added to some extent

• Still dominated by manual sorting, lifting, storage and driving

Business model is a barrier to infrastructure improvements

• Airport needs return of investment

• Airline cannot initiate investment at a particular airport

• Handlers have commercial agreement with airline

Why?Airport

Logistics and Innovation - Mandate

• Help to increase automation in the adjacent processes such as

loading and transport of luggage to and from aircraft.

• The entire logistics chain should, as far as possible, be automated

or prepared for this.

Need to introduce more efficient concepts, by automating

baggage handling beyond the baggage handling system

OSLO LUFTHAVN AS

• Many existing solutions provide semi-automated tools for parts of

departure and arrival processes

• Few solutions (if any) cover automatization of the entire process

• Existing robots for baggage handling are in general not sufficiently

effective and only in limited use

➔ Avinor challenges the market to increase level of automation
