Description

Airport and harbor prohibited luggage identification automatic banding system}

The present invention relates to an automatic banding system for identification of prohibited baggage at airports, and more specifically, to an automatic banding system for identification of prohibited baggage at airports, which allows the attachment of handwritten identification to existing prohibited baggage items to be performed automatically at the baggage transfer line. It's about the system.

In general, all airports around the world conduct baggage inspections for domestic and foreign passengers for items prohibited in cross-border trade such as explosives, weapons, drugs, gold and silver jewelry, cultural assets, animal and livestock products, plants, and aquatic life.

In addition, due to the nature of the large number of people entering and exiting, many firearms and various dangerous substances that can be used in various crimes are brought in, so inspections/searches at the entrance are carried out particularly rigorously by numerous police officers and security personnel.

At this time, as a field of search equipment mainly used for the above inspection/search, when searching the baggage of a person carrying baggage, X-rays are generally projected onto the baggage and the contents are confirmed using the image signal derived from the X-ray. It is a well-known fact that baggage scanners are used to make this possible.

However, most people carrying firearms and explosives are cleverly hiding them in their luggage, considering that it is difficult to carry them on their person. Therefore, the luggage must be searched especially thoroughly.

In recent years, these baggage scanners have not been widely used, so many police officers or security guards had to take out and examine baggage one by one. However, recently, as mentioned above, baggage scanners that project Now that it is widespread, baggage screening is becoming much easier and faster.

In addition, employees of the Korea Customs Service inspect the contents of the travel bag through

Currently, the types of identification tags commonly used include paper stickers attached to luggage, plastic information labels hung with cable ties, and electronic tags.

However, the problem is that when the X-ray reading staff discovers a prohibited item, they or someone nearby attaches a specific identification tag to the item. Because they are attached individually by people, a lot of time and energy are consumed and they are operated inefficiently.

In the case of Incheon Airport, employees work 24 hours a day, 3 shifts, 365 days a year at several terminals to inspect baggage. If the labor costs of employees who attach identification tags can be reduced, it is expected that the annual cost budget will be reduced.
