BHS completed The Baggage Handling System (BHS) is integral to airports as it automatically transports baggage

with innovative using barcoded tags with embedded baggage information.
Incheon Airport faced a major crisis in 2016 when delayed baggage handling caused flight
technology departures to be delayed. Following this, Incheon Airport focused on upgrading the system,

achieving a world-class baggage handling accuracy rate (99.9998%) by 2019, reducing the rate of
mishandled baggage to just two per million.
Through the Phase 4 project, Incheon Airport introduced smart systems to establish an unrivaled,

ultra-competitive baggage handling service. A key advancement in the Phase 4 BHS was the
integration of the system with the Phase 3 operating system. In addition to the laser scanner
recognition method used in Phase 3, a next-generation camera-based barcode tag recognition
system was implemented, improving the accuracy of baggage information retrieval. The system

now captures images of baggage barcode tags with cameras, and high-performance Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) technology identifies flight numbers and destinations, increasing
the baggage barcode tag read rate from 96% to 99%.
The baggage sorting process was enhanced by integrating the existing Individual Carrier System

(ICS) with the Tilt Tray Sorter (TTS) method, resulting in a faster and more secure baggage
