Drop-UX Series (S / H / P / L / T variants)

The Drop-UX S, H, P, L, and T series represents Daifuku's core portfolio of self bag drop (SBD) hardware for passenger-facing check-in environments. Each variant shares a common software platform — certified for use on IATA's Common Use Self-Service (CUSS) environment and optionally deployable in native airline mode — while the physical form factor is tuned to a specific terminal constraint or operational model.

The H Series is the range flagship for hybrid terminals: a full-width desk that converts in seconds between agent-operated CUTE check-in and self-service bag drop, sharing one set of peripherals and eliminating the need for dedicated zones. The P Series is designed as a counter-footprint replacement, accommodating 1-2-3 conveyor configurations and up to three simultaneous bag tag printers, with AI-based 3D baggage analytics and an automated tag reader (ATR) for jam-free induction. The L Series targets retrofit without rip-out: its slimline, modular profile fits within existing counter frames with minimal conveyor adjustment, and uniquely supports both standard and oversized baggage on the same unit. The T Series is a compact kiosk pedestal suited to off-counter positions — gate lounges, transfer areas, or pre-security — and switches between agent-assisted and self-service modes without any hardware reconfiguration. The S Series rounds out the family for space-constrained single-lane environments.

All variants share a 2-stage, 2.5-metre inclined conveyor with a 100 mm low front profile for easy bag placement, intrusion detection sensor arch, and a 19" or 24" passenger touchscreen. Processing averages 20 seconds per bag with less than 40 seconds between released bags at peak throughput. For GCC hub airports managing dense turnaround windows, the range's ability to replace conventional counters at up to 20% higher unit density per linear metre of frontage directly addresses apron-side check-in capacity constraints.
