Kuala Lumpur International has completed an extensive technology upgrade that includes 100 self-service bag drops.
The self bag drops are available for domestic and international passengers at terminals KLIA and KLIA2.
The slimline self-service kiosks are biometric-enabled and feature wireless connectivity.
They can be customized to fit with the airport’s brand design and specific customer needs.
The modular design means enhancements and modifications can be made without replacing the entire kiosk.
As part of the update, Malaysia Airports has migrated to Windows 10 and upgraded its CORE servers, network equipment, and Baggage Reconciliation System.

The upgrades are part of a broader transition from Airport 3.0 to Airport 4.0.
That aims to use of business intelligence and the collection of big data to improve the passenger experience.
Airport 4.0 also has plans to optimise terminal use, increase operational efficiency and grow revenue.
