Materna IPS GmbH: Denver International Airport (DEN) opens the United States’ largest Self-Bag Drop (SBD) installation in cooperation with Materna IPS, United Airlines, and Southwest Airlines
2.12.2021 08:41:17 CET | news aktuell GmbH | Pressemelding
With over 73 million passengers expected to travel through DEN in 2022, the opening of the 86 self-bag drop systems perfectly aligns with the airport’s extensive technological redevelopment project; and is designed to provide passengers with the best check-in experience, including the ability to check-in over-sized luggage, like skis and snowboards. The unique hybrid self-bag drops are also equipped with counters and can be operated by the airline staff, when needed. This gives the airport the increased flexibility to meet the growth demand. Materna IPS developed the self-service systems according to the exact requirements of the airport with various partners and equipped them with state-of-the-art technology.
This project is the largest and most extensive hybrid self-bag drop (SBD) installation in the United States. The systems went live with Southwest Airlines early in November 2021 followed by United Airlines a week later. Within the first two weeks, over 35,000 bags have been processed with the newly integrated automatic baggage handling system. The Materna IPS systems were able to decrease the average passenger transaction time at DEN by nearly 50% during this period.
In addition to the hardware solution, Southwest Airlines will be using the Materna IPS SBD Application to operate the new automated baggage handling process. Materna IPS will also be responsible for hosting the self-bag drop system within the AWS Cloud where the availability and functionality of the SBD units are constantly monitored.
With the outstanding successful implementation of this major project at Denver International Airport, Materna IPS continues to strengthen its leading position in the American market and is expanding its international growth. Gary McDonald, president of Materna IPS USA, reiterates, "Everyone involved is absolutely honored to be part of this incredible, groundbreaking and innovative project that is revolutionizing passenger handling in the U.S. at one of the busiest airports in the world."

Vyoma awarded ESA data procurement contract for space-based data on small space debris24.2.2026 10:53:34 CET | Press release
(Munich, February 24th, 2026) Vyoma, a Munich-based company providing Space Domain Awareness (SDA) capabilities, has been selected as the winner of the ESA tender on ”Data Procurement for Space-Based Statistical Data on Small Space Debris Phase 1”, funded via ESA‘s Space Safety Programme (S2P). ESA’s Meteoroid And Space debris Terrestrial Environment Reference (MASTER) model provides a description of the space environment around Earth, supporting satellite designers, operators and others with risk assessments. Currently, there exists a significant temporal and spatial knowledge gap for observations of space debris with sizes smaller than the detection limit of ground-based sensors. Vyoma's Flamingo-1 satellite is ideally positioned to generate the image data ESA is seeking. Flying “in-situ” at an altitude of 510 km, Flamingo-1's instrument can monitor large volumes of space at once. This sensor detects objects at long and short distances and captures small and fast objects reliably, im

Clean energy needs a clean planet: PLAN-B NET ZERO and everwave launch joint initiative20.2.2026 13:26:02 CET | Press release
(Berlin, Germany) A strong start to 2026. PLAN-B NET ZERO enters into a partnership with the Aachen-based environmental scale-up everwave. With the guiding principle ‘1 euro = 1 kilogram of waste’, the partners recovered 10,000 kilograms of waste from rivers in Cambodia at the start of the initiative Around 11 million tonnes of plastic waste enter the oceans every year. Without effective countermeasures, this volume could almost triple by 2040. Studies show that about 80 percent of marine plastic reaches the sea via roughly 1,656 rivers worldwide. To date, everwave has removed more than 2.4 million kilograms of plastic from rivers in Cambodia, Albania, and Thailand. The company uses waste collection boats, barriers, and manual cleanups to stop plastic before it reaches the oceans. At the same time, mobile sorting and recycling solutions return materials efficiently to the circular economy. AI support optimizes collection routes to clean as many waterways as possible in a sustainable wa
