Company brief
Daifuku Airport Technologies is the airport-systems business of Japan-headquartered Daifuku Co., Ltd, one of the world's largest material-handling and intralogistics companies. The unit positions itself as an end-to-end airport solutions provider, with capabilities spanning baggage handling systems (BHS), self-service technologies (self bag-drop, common-use kiosks), checkpoint security screening, airport operating systems (resource and operations software) and long-term operations and maintenance services. Daifuku's airport business pulls together the heritage of its acquired companies including BCS Group (now Daifuku Oceania), Logan Teleflex, Elite Line Services, Webb Industries and security-screening specialist Scarabee. The Demo Center at Shiga Works in Japan is described as the largest full-scale private exhibition centre in the world, used for customer trials and operator training. Reference projects in the public domain include LaGuardia Terminal B (BHS plus mobile inspection tables), Melbourne Airport's first purpose-built dedicated Automated Bag Drop system, and Miami International Airport, where Daifuku has installed one of the world's largest automatic-guided-vehicle deployments for baggage handling. Scarabee's Checkpoint Property Screening System has achieved TSA Qualified Products List status in the United States and is being deployed at Denver International (DEN). Distinct strengths are the global scale of Daifuku's intralogistics R&D, vertically integrated airport solutions from passenger-facing self-service to back-of-house BHS and airport operating systems, and a 24/7 O&M services arm that lets airports outsource lifecycle support of installed systems.
