To Airport: BHS (Baggage Handling System)

Based on our experience in building and operating baggage handling systems at Incheon International Airport, we provide differentiated services in all areas of BHS, ranging from consulting, design, equipment/solution procurement, to the operation and maintenance service.

Key Features

The BHS is a system that transports checked baggage from the check-in counter to the designated airplane, and from the airplane to the baggage claim area. This system automatically transports, sorts, searches, stores baggage by reading tags attached to it. We have been building and operating the BHS and the relevant infrastructure at Incheon International Airport for 20 years, with an excellent performance (error rate is just 0.0002%), helping Incheon Airport become one of the best airports in the world for several consecutive years.

Differentiators and Competitiveness

• POSCO DX has the know-how of world best BHS from Incheon International Airport experience.
• POSCO DX incorporates AI, big data, IoT, and other technologies into system management and operation to provide smart facility management, improved availability, and more efficient manpower operation.
• POSCO DX provides advanced technology through partnership with the world's largest global logistics solution companies.

Smart Integrated Logistics Platform

Smart Integrated Logistics Platform is an eco-friendly/intelligent logistics platform equipped with smart technology that integrates various transportation modes and logistics processes into a single point of contact and responds flexibly to future logistics business expansion.

Key Features

By integrating the seven major logistics services of ocean bulk, ocean container, air transport, road transport, rail transport, warehousing, and port stevedoring, we provide integrated management of cargo, data, and financial flow across the logistics network as well as one-stop logistics services from bidding and contracting to logistics execution and settlement.

The collected data provides real-time logistics visibility into the location of transportation vehicles, including trucks and ships, which are key control points for logistics operators, as well as the status of orders and inventory, enabling rapid response.

• 

  Granular monitoring of progress
  from order to delivery

• 

  Ship/truck location tracking and
  estimated arrival time prediction

• 

  Visibility into inventory
  management for directly-managed and non-directly managed*
  warehouses

  * We monitor the warehousing status of non-direct warehouses by implementing virtual WMS through an interface with a warehouse operator.
