For the last 20 years, technology for weighing airline passenger baggage has largely remained unchanged. Rice Lake Weighing Systems, a global leader in weighing technology, is modernizing how the airline industry manages passenger baggage and cargo weighment with the launch of Tracer AV.

The Tracer AV solution incorporates an intelligent, certified weighing system with remote diagnostics, providing airlines with a full-service solution. It features the first certified legal-for-trade virtual weight indicator that resides on a PC desktop. The PC-housed indicator meets regulation by clearly and conveniently displaying weight data to both the agent and customer.

The heavy-duty, stainless-steel Smart Scale base provides accurate weight data, which can be captured and accumulated in real-time within a network configuration. The data can then be added to the flight manifest, potentially leading to an adjustment in the amount of ferried fuel.

The intelligent iQUBE® junction box provides real-time system monitoring 24/7 along with predictive maintenance—virtually eliminating scale downtime. If the scale is out of tolerance, a proactive event such as a display message or an email to maintenance, can immediately address the situation.

While some airlines estimate they capture less than 50 percent of overweight baggage charges, the process still generates millions of dollars in revenue annually. To ensure revenue capture, Rice Lake’s Tracer AV system can create an event that must be satisfied in order to complete the ticketing transaction.

With Rice Lake’s Tracer AV solution, airlines can create an accurate and dependable revenue base, and transfer the weighment data into a valuable resource for cost reductions in expenditures such as ferried fuel consumption.
