Vanderlande has joined the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and other partners to develop industrial robots that will operate with increased independence and autonomy. The project – called FAST (new Frontiers in Autonomous Systems Technology) – aims to develop mobile robots with increased flexibility, which allows them to function more effectively in environments that undergo frequent change.

The Taoyuan International Airport Corporation (TIAC) has awarded Vanderlande a contract to supply a state-of-the-art baggage handling system (BHS) at its new terminal. In response to the rapid growth in passenger volume, TIAC is constructing Terminal 3 (T3) at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TTIA). This will boost capacity and enhance the overall quality of service. 

As a socially responsible organisation, Vanderlande is continually exploring innovative ways to integrate sustainable practices into our business model. Such opportunities can sometimes come in the most surprising of places and the reimagining of our depreciated baggage carriers proved to be just that.

Vanderlande enjoyed a successful appearance at this year’s inter airport Europe exhibition. The event, which was held from 10-13 October at the Munich Trade Fair in Germany, was an excellent opportunity to showcase its latest innovations. The theme for 2017 focused on the rising demand for digitalisation and automation systems.
