Siemens Logistics has been selected to deliver the baggage handling system for the new Noida International Airport (NIA) near Delhi, India.
Under this contract, Siemens Logistics will design, supply, install, commission and maintain the baggage handling system for the airport’s Terminal 1.
The opening of Noida International Airport is scheduled to take place in four phases, starting with the first terminal, which will initially handle 12 million passengers per year and can be expanded to accommodate up to 30 million passengers.
Siemens Logistics will supply its high-performance VarioTray conveyor technology to transport baggage quickly and reliably within this new facility. As the VarioTray system is modular, it can be easily expanded to meet future growth when the terminal expands.
Siemens Logistics will also install its High Level Control software BagIQ to provide intelligent baggage process control to manage the routing of all bags throughout the baggage handling system at NIA.
“We're looking forward to our collaboration with Siemens Logistics. Noida International Airport will be India’s newest, greenest and most digital airport, providing a quick, easy and seamless experience for passengers and cost-efficient operations for airlines. We decided to rely on the Siemens team, who presented us the best value proposition with the most powerful and reliable baggage handling technologies. Besides that, Siemens has a strong local presence with a fully committed team.”
The new NIA airport will enhance connectivity to and from the National Capital Region of Delhi, Noida and the Western Uttar Pradesh.
Terminal 1 will be built in two stages and its design will focus on seamless and fast transfer processes.
“We are very delighted that Noida International Airport has chosen us for this exciting new airport project in India. The deployment of our latest VarioTray and software technologies will significantly contribute to enhanced passenger experience at NIA – whilst the operator can rely on operational efficiency and future-proof expandability.”
