Dallas Love Field - Modernization Project

<a href="https://www.hial.co.uk/sumburgh-airport/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sumburgh Airport</a> is the main airport serving the Shetland Islands, with direct flights to, and from, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Kirkwall. <a href="https://www.hial.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd (HIAL)</a>—the company that operates and manages the airport—planned an upgrade to the hold baggage screening equipment in order to meet new European regulation.
As a result, Daifuku Airport Technologies in the UK have been brought in to upgrade Sumburgh’s baggage handling system—making it compliant with Standard 3 Hold Baggage Screen (HBS) technology. To achieve this, changes need to be made to the existing in-gauge outbound system and the preboard search. Integrating the new Smith CTX9800Si and 3D baggage screening scanner is also required.
Sumburgh Airport’s General Manager, Andrew Farquhar, said: “We are delighted to work with Daifuku Airport Technologies on this project—they were awarded the contract following a competitive tender process, and the project is on track for completion by the end of July, 2020.”

SAS <a href="https://www.brest.aeroport.bzh/sas-aeroports-de-bretagne-ouest" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Aéroports de Bretagne Ouest (ABO)</a> had a fantastic 2019. Their <a href="https://www.brest.aeroport.bzh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Brest Bretagne Airport</a> surpassed its passenger record, welcoming 1.2 million travellers (up 12% from 2018).
This success is the result of ABO undergoing considerable work—modernising, extending and bringing their equipment in line with current standards.
However, the organisation hope to continue breaking records, and aim to see 2 million annual passengers using their Brest airport by 2035. As part of this, ABO have brought in Daifuku Airport Technologies to modify both Brest and Quimper airports’ baggage conveyor systems.
Daifuku Airport Technologies will now support Brest Bretagne Airport’s ambitious growth by supplying a new hold baggage control system. This includes the integration of two explosive detection systems and an automatic tag reader.
As for <a href="http://www.quimper.aeroport.bzh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Quimper Bretagne Airport</a>, Daifuku Airport Technologies will integrate the new hold baggage screening equipment.

Two colleagues who traded expertise in a remarkable reversal of roles are urging others to make the move from industry to instructing and train the engineers of the future.
As a workshop supervisor at Daifuku Logan in Hull, Matt Shackleton relished the task of passing on his skills to apprentices including Sean Edwards, who at the time was a young learner from Humberside Engineering Training Association.
But Matt’s long-term aim was to join the team at HETA, and when Sean got there first, he remembered his former instructor and gave him the advice to help him make the move.
Matt is older by six years, but it was Sean who took the training route first after his potential was spotted by Sarah Smith, HETA’s former workshop manager in Hull, as he completed his apprenticeship and a BSc in engineering management.
Sean said: “Sarah persuaded me to become a mechanical instructor. It’s very different – a lot more about managing people. You need management and communication skills and you need to be able to understand the young people. Matt taught me well. He always had time for people and he understood what we need to do.”
It was only a matter of time before Matt took the next step, and he found Sean a willing source of encouragement. Cathy Bourne, HR Manager at HETA, is now looking for other engineers to shadow the teaching staff with a view to making the switch.
Cathy said: “We are always looking for skilled engineers who want to become teachers and there is no one better to advise them than the instructors we have here who have come from industry.
“It’s not for everybody but there are great opportunities at our sites in Hull, Scunthorpe and Stallingborough for people who can develop the management and communication skills. It’s very rewarding work and we offer attractive terms and conditions including generous leave entitlement, pension and healthcare. The country needs more engineers and it also needs more people to train them.”
Matt, a fabrication and welding instructor, said: “I knew very early that this was something I wanted to do. My own instructor was a big influence on me and I found myself telling the learners the same stories. I wanted to be able to tell learners what employers are looking for such as time-keeping, enthusiasm, other employability skills.”
Lee Sutton, an electrical instructor, joined the ranks at HETA after spending nine years on domestic, commercial and industrial work with accompany in Hull and then four years on fitting and maintenance at a shipyard.
He said: “It’s good to see when people pick skills up, do things properly and put their training to good practice. There are some very clever learners here and it’s surprising how quick and intelligent they are. They can head off on a really good career path from here.”
The new Hull training centre which HETA opened in August 2018 houses a working environment which is a big improvement on the previous workshops at Sutton Field industrial estate.
Matt said: “We have the space and the facilities to fabricate a lot more things and create more real-world scenarios. It’s very similar to being in a company and I would recommend it to others in industry. The transition to education is a big one but there are a lot of people who can help.
“Sean gave me some good insight about what it’s like being an instructor at HETA and now we are both passing on our knowledge to the learners. I am at a stage in my life where I can still remember what it was like being 16, giving the learners they respect they deserve. They make an adult decision to come here and we treat them as adults.”
Sean added: “Matt adapted to the role of instructor straight away and he’s really good – he has a lot of respect from the learners. He helped me a lot when I was at Daifuku Logan and I advised him about making the move to become an instructor, but there’s nothing I need to tell him about welding!”
