2 Important Safety Instructions
2.1 Intended Use
With the ALIS (Airport Luggage Identification System) track and trace system, luggage can
be clearly identified as it is transported quickly and reliably through the airport and thus
reaches the right sorting zone.
Designed like a reading interval gate, SICK has developed ALIS specifically with luggage
handling services in mind.
The system is extremely reliable when it comes to reading luggage information on IATA bar
codes and/or RFID tagged labels.
With ALIS, SICK has created a modular system which can be specially adapted to suit the
various requirements of airport luggage identification and handling processes, whether this
involves sensors, visualization software, or even the commissioning process.
Intended use also includes compliance with this system information, especially the sources
of danger.

tions and information.
▸ Only qualified persons from the respective areas are permitted to work on the ALIS.
