Green QuickScan
Rotterdam Airport was the first airport to benefit from our Baggage Handling System Green QuickScan resulting in a reduction of total BHS energy consumption of up to 30%.
"QuinTech has done an excellent job here at Rotterdam Airport. Their thorough analysis and creative but no-nonsense solutions have provided us with the opportunity to save over 30% on our baggage handling systems' energy costs and CO2 footprint. Realizing that such substantial savings were possible was a real eye-opener for us!" Steven van der Kleij, Rotterdam The Hague Airport.

Feasibility study on baggage transportation
We investigated the use of a high capacity baggage transportation solution between the baggage handling system and the platform. Within the project we showed that a solution like the BaggageTruck - a joint development of the TU-Delft & QuinTech - is highly efficient for transporting baggage at Rotterdam Airport. Simulations of the baggage handling system showed that capacity can be increased without new investments into the system.
Design of in-terminal layout
For the new Rotterdam Airport terminal design, we investigated several in-terminal check-in and drop-off desk configurations. We used extensive simulations to calculate and validate terminal layouts, required number of Drop-Off Points and service desks, queuing times, passenger flows and total system costs. Amongst other things we proposed the use of self-service drop-off desks to increase terminal capacity and decrease operational costs.
Feasibility study on remote baggage drop-off
For Rotterdam Airport we performed a feasibility study on the use of Remote Self-Service Drop-Off Points in the airport parking garage. Final deliverable was a final design including the required number of drop-off points and their layout. Furthmore, a proposal was done for the transport of baggage between the garage and the terminal. A queuing time simulator was developed to validate the proposed Self-Service Drop-Off configurations.
