It was planned to start up the fully automated bag drops just in time for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in the summer of 2020. The new facility at Tokyo International Airport (HANEDA) was successfully opened in April 2020 with 68 self-bag drop units. A total of 104 units will be installed this year. Japan Airlines (JAL) is already using the solution for their passengers, while All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Delta Airlines (DAL) as well as many other airlines, will follow shortly.

With the revolutionary Materna IPS system Flex. Go, TKK has installed an innovative baggage conveyor system in the futuristic departure hall of the new terminal building. The self-service solution reflects the design language and specific requirements of the airport and offers passengers a pleasant and efficient travel experience. Materna IPS self-bag drop units provide a simple and quick way for passengers to drop off and insert luggage into the baggage handling system. Functions such as fully automated baggage classification, weighing, and scanning will help to ensure that luggage can be dropped off within seconds.
