COSAW Advanced Airport Services is an spanish company located
in the Technology Park of Andalusia in Málaga. It has developed
an innovative system for hand luggage control and verification that
represents a new model for the management of airline passenger
boarding.
COSAW’s new device provides precise control of hand luggage
weight and size by means of a certified processing mechanism that
provides an accurate measurement of the features of all hand lug-
gage in every flight.
Control of hand luggage has become a source of dispute between
airlines and passengers lately. The verification process provided by
COSAW has been developed to provide a real solution to this real
problem.
The COSAW device provides innovative technology solutions elimi-
nate this dispute before it even happens, while ensuring the airlines:
- a new source of revenue
- cost savings
- a streamlined boarding process
- and abundant and comprehensive statistical information on
their customers’ travel habits, which is a powerful tool for es-
tablishing business and marketing policies tailored to the needs
of the passenger.
COSAW provides never before seen advantages and features for the
airline at zero investment costs.

3. ADVANTAGES
BENEFITS WITH NO INVESTMENT COSTS
COSAW provides a service based on a device that has been
developed and designed so it brings the airline numerous
advantages and features without having to make any invest-
ment in its implementation.
HAND LUGGAGE CONTROL
The luggage is photographed and linked to a unique board-
ing card, ensuring unmistakeable return to the owner in
case of loss and increasing security.
A NEW SOURCE OF REVENUE
COSAW’s ability to verify the exact weight and size of any
piece of hand luggage generates new revenue streams,
since airlines may charge excess weight and size fees using
a technically certified device.
AGILITY IN THE BOARDING PROCESS
Simplicity and ease of use of COSAW allows verification of
one piece of luggage in a 10 second process.
AIRLINE INTEGRATION
COSAW device has the capacity of integrating and sharing real
time information with the Airline Departure Control Systems.
BUSINESS AND MARKETING INFORMATION
The monitoring and verification of hand luggage generates
abundant and comprehensive information and statistics on
passenger travel habits in regards to luggage, which be-
comes a powerful tool for commercial and marketing pur-
poses.
PAYLOAD ORGANIZATION
Control of the weight and size of hand luggage means the
airline knows in real time the precise moment in which
cabin space and weight have been used up. From this mo-
ment on, badges are issued in a color different to the one for
allowed pieces, and items will be sent to the aircraft hold
from the very gate. This eliminates the fumbling around of
hand luggage pieces looking for a space that is no longer
available.
COST REDUCTION
The improvement in the organization of the payload allows
for a time reduction in the accommodation of passengers
and their luggage. This results in reduced waiting times be-
fore take-off and a need for shorter time slots at the airport.
The ability to accurately determine the carried payload en-
ables a more reliable calculation of the fuel needed for the
trip, thus saving costs in excess fuel.

5. COSAW’s hand luggage control and verification device has been designed
to provide the airline with a precise and certified system to measure the
exact size and weight of every piece of hand luggage aboard.
The technical certification is a significant improvement over current
methods of control dimensions through metal cages, which in many cas-
es result in deformations, making it impossible to undergo a thorough
verification up to the quality standards required by this type of airport
services sector.
COSAW introduces the control of hand luggage weight, an aspect which
until now was not being verified by the airlines.
In addition to this, COSAW photographs each piece of hand luggage, au-
tomatically linking it to a boarding pass, which unequivocally guarantees
traceability.

device are:

fied after verification
Provides an orderly boarding process,
faster and more effective
The duration of the verification process is
about 10 seconds, which ensures the ab-
sence of delays in the boarding process by
placing two devices on each boarding gate
The COSAW device is designed to be placed on the boarding gate,
channeling the flow of passengers and their hand luggage.

8. The results of the weight and size checks are stored in the cloud in real
time. This can be integrated into the airline’s information system at any
given time.
COSAW provides the airline with a Control Panel which includes access
and processing of the information with high added value. The system is
constantly improving and adapting to the needs of the airlines.
All data processing is done in real time and it can be queried and ana-
lyzed by the airline instantly.
