Making airport baggage and cargo operations autonomous

Aurrigo’s Autonomous Auto-DollyTug® heralds a new era of baggage and cargo operations. By integrating cutting-edge technology—from digital twin planning with Aurrigo’s Auto-Sim® software tool to its fully autonomous Auto-DollyTug® baggage and cargo vehicle—this smart airside solution promises to enhance efficiency, improve safety, reduce carbon footprints and transforms baggage handling operations.

Improving operational efficiency and reducing costs

Airports enjoy predictable and accountable operations. Automation ensures 24/7 operations to support peaks in operations.

Increased safety and reduction in user damage

Auto-DollyTug® can endure the difficult jobs airports ask of personnel. Additionally, the Autonomous Drive System is programmed to follow a set of rules that ensure safety.

Reduced carbon footprint

The Auto-DollyTug® is fully electric. Charging is optimised based on Aurrigo’s software algorithms

About the Auto-DollyTug®

The Auto-DollyTug® is equipped with robotic arms that enable fully autonomous loading and unloading of unit load devices (ULDs), ensuring a seamless, end-to-end operation. Its sideways drive and 360-degree tank turn capabilities, combined with LiDAR sensors and 360-degree cameras, delivers tremendous agility allowing it to navigate safely on a crowded aircraft stand, within a baggage hall and among other roadway traffic, safely.

With its unmatched maneuverability and cutting-edge technology, the Auto-DollyTug® is the most advanced baggage tractor on the market today.
