While automated
systems offer the greatest efficiency in managing
baggage, airports are challenged with maintaining the
program logic of control devices, especially as a result
of device failure. MDT's AutoSave change management software helps
overcome these challenges by tracking changes,
decreasing downtime and errors, maintaining security and
increasing productivity of automated baggage handling
systems.
Security issues
as well as operational issues can occur when there is no
record of when a program is changed, who made the change
and why the program was changed. Change management of
the PLC is vital for the proper maintenance of automated
baggage handling systems. In providing a common central
repository of all changes, AutoSave ensures that current copies of program logic
are available for rapid disaster recovery. Baggage
systems are secured by limiting access to programs and
the ability to make changes to only those with proper
clearance. AutoSave also enables greater efficiency of
baggage handling systems by unifying automation software
under one user interface providing complete control over
the automation environment. Wasted time associated with
multiple users making changes on laptops throughout the
baggage handling areas is eliminated and the common
central repository of all changes allows for analyzing
historical changes to identify bottlenecks and observe
trends in programming practices.
In order to
maximize transport and sorting efficiency, and effective
security screening, today's baggage handling systems are
very complex, sophisticated systems. AutoSave change
management support of these systems creates an even more
robust baggage handling solution and helps conform to
airports' stringent security and validation
requirements.
MDT continually develops innovative solutions using
proven technologies. We are dedicated to customer
satisfaction and look forward to the opportunity to show
you how MDT AutoSave has helped some of the world's
largest manufacturers reduce downtime, improve
productivity, protect users and assets, and improve
security.
MDT serves airports and suppliers of baggage handling
systems through our distribution and integration
network.
