Holiday Scoop: Augury Is Helping Cut Down Luggage-Waiting Time

A very organized airport baggage conveyor

During peak vacation season, the last thing you want to do is wait endlessly for your luggage to arrive after a long flight. Rest assured, Augury is doing its bit to keep those conveyor belts running optimally. You’re welcome! And meanwhile, Happy Holidays!

Imagine you have just flown to your family vacation destination. Even though it’s the summer rush, you’ve miraculously offboarded and gone through the Passport Check in record time. You make it to Baggage, and you see loved ones waiting excitedly through the separating glass. Everything is perfect. But then you wait… and wait… and wait. We’ve all been there: miming “This sucks!” through the glass to our waiting family and friends.  

Let’s Keep That Baggage Moving

Now, there’s good news in the world of baggage handling. We’ve been applying our Machine Health Solution to the baggage system at the ‘Best Airport Over 40M Passengers in North America’ for the last few years.  

“Considering 40 million people utilize this airport annually to begin their bucket-list vacations, important work meetings, honeymoons, and plenty of other trips – one can imagine there is a lot of baggage that needs to be moved without disruption, too. That’s where Augury enters the picture!” according to ‘Enhancing Airport Baggage Handling Efficiency for Smooth Travel Experiences’, an article published in Augury’s community The Endpoint.

In short, our predictive health system alerts the airport maintenance team to any faults in their conveyors’ motors and gearboxes – so they can repair the problem before it becomes a problem for you and your fellow passengers. 

Another Endpoint article, ‘Augury’s Role in Reliable Airport Baggage Conveyors’, states: “With constant coverage capabilities, airport maintenance teams use Augury as their go-to tool to plan daily maintenance tasks and ensure bags get to their destination. Without a predictive maintenance tool to help prioritize tasks, valuable hours would be spent tending to machines functioning correctly and missing ones requiring attention.” 

Welcome To The Vacation Factory

At Augury, we are usually focused on keeping those machines running that supply you with everything from chips to diapers, from milk to medicine – so you can buy these products at the best quality and price. 

But now we’ve found ourselves in another sort of factory: the vacation factory. And, of course, we’re only too happy to make a difference in rendering vacations more stress-free.  

In the words of a CTO of a major airport writing in Fortune: ‘AI Isn’t Destroying Jobs In Aviation – It’s Giving Us Superpowers To Improve Air Travel’.

So, Bon Voyage! May your next airport experience be seamless!
