Our Systems
Prior to production, over 4 years of detailed research and development went towards perfecting our weighing systems. During this period we conducted market research with airport operators, airlines and passengers before finalising the system's design and features. From there we gained the relevant certification and undertook on-site airport testing. We now have patented solutions based on an IPR Portfolio with new, advanced technology.
This extensive research and testing has resulted in the development of innovative smart systems that offer realistic solutions for the modern airport to check-in problems associated with excess baggage.
We're delighted to have Weigh-ahead systems installed at our airport. They provide clear benefit to travelers and help reduce problems and delays at check-in.
