More and more people are choosing airplanes as their preferred means of transportation. Passengers check in their carry-on luggage, which increases the number of checked luggage. Airport sorting personnel need to identify the luggage on the carousel according to the luggage tag information, find the luggage for the flight in charge, and take out the luggage for sorting. Since sorters need to manually identify and carry a large amount of luggage, they are prone to work errors such as misreading the luggage tag information and loading the luggage into the wrong container under long working hours and high labor intensity.

[0003] At present, the existing airport baggage handling system has the following problems:

[0004] 1) When luggage is loaded or unloaded incorrectly or lost, the problem cannot be discovered in time, resulting in the airport staff not being aware of the abnormal situation of the luggage at the first time, thus delaying the processing time;

[0005] 2) The limitations of existing technologies restrict the timeliness and effectiveness of handling baggage anomalies, affecting passenger satisfaction and airline operational efficiency;

[0006] 3) The existing airport baggage system lacks the ability to dynamically perceive and quickly respond to changes in baggage status, and cannot meet the needs of modern air transportation for efficient baggage management.
