 Abstract

The aim of this project was to design a solution for the apron services of KLM that will relieve the ground crew from their physical burden and makes the handling of containers safer. Both with the goal to reduce the chance of getting injured while handling containers. Next to the reduction of injuries, the goal is to improve the efficiency of the handling of containers on the platform. The processes the platform where analysed and pushind and rotating container came out as the mayor causes of injuries among the personnel. The problem was solved by a powered rotation and a automatic push bar. The report concludes with a concept of the powered rotation and a fully defined and testen model of the push bar.
