Domodedovo was the first major airport to switch to Russian baggage sorting software

Domodedovo was the first major airport to switch to Russian baggage sorting software. The project was implemented by Reksoft, its press service said on August 14, 2023.

The system was launched in the new T2 terminal to serve international flights. Equipment from the Dutch company Vanderlande Industries, which left the Russian market in March 2022, was previously purchased for the terminal. Due to the fact that the vendor did not install software for equipment, the airport decided to replace the software part with a domestic product that is able to manage foreign hardware, Alexander Semenov, director of the transport and logistics department of Reksoft, explained to Vedomosti.

The baggage handling system launched by the joint team was configured for the business processes of Domodedovo Airport. And if earlier foreign vendors offered Russian customers "ready-made solutions" with minimal adaptation capabilities, then in the new segment of the T2 terminal there is a large-scale import-independent system, made completely according to the requirements of us as a customer and taking into account all specialized Russian sorting and inspection standards, - said Konstantin Glushenkov, senior engineer of the main production of Domodedovo airport.

The automated baggage sorting system (ASSB) performs a comprehensive task of check-in, sorting, inspection and delivery of baggage on board the aircraft, as well as baggage claim to passengers upon arrival. The system includes 88 check-in counters, an extensive baggage transportation network, a 5-level baggage inspection system, security and customs inspection systems, and a multi-level baggage storage system.

The baggage storage subsystem is designed for 1,100 seats, includes 12 three-meter racks, between which robots move along special rails, distributing luggage to the desired cells.^[1]
