BNP is an industry leader in simulation, from simple studies to evaluating the largest and most complex material handling systems in the world
BNP has been delivering advanced simulation services for baggage handling and air cargo systems for more than three decades. Our experience spans from simple solutions to complex projects for airports serving over 100 million annual passengers. These analyses and studies offer accurate, real-world insights that enhance design and increase project success.
The primary difference in our simulations lies in the team and expertise behind each project. Our simulation team is the most experienced in the industry. Our historical knowledge and deep insights help us identify problems and establish solutions that enhance operations and lead to efficient performance.
As part of our simulation process, BNP develops detailed demand forecasts to quantify expected baggage, cargo, and warehouse volumes. We document key data and assumptions in a Simulation Function Design Specification (SimFDS), which includes flight schedules, passenger characteristics, and key performance indicators (KPIs).
We apply simulation tools to support the design of baggage, cargo, and logistics systems for projects worldwide. These simulations provide a holistic analysis to assess design options, system performance, identify bottlenecks, process metrics, and energy efficiency to achieve optimal system performance.
Our simulation tools and operational expertise assess and enhance processes. This includes evaluating passenger flows, such as checkpoint screening, arrival baggage reclaim, and baggage handling system. In cargo projects, we simulate ULD build-up and breakdown processes to support layout planning, capacity assessment, and operational decision-making with data-backed insights.
We use operational simulations to access traffic and workflow across airport and logistics environments. This includes modeling baggage and cargo vehicle movements, warehouse order picking and replenishment, and testing failure scenarios to improve resilience and efficiency. These simulations support informed decision-making in design and day-to-day operations.
We offer customized operational modeling tools tailored to our clients’ systems to simulate real-world situations and assess the impact of changes in flight schedules and other operational variations. These tools enable teams to make informed decisions that improve the performance and resilience of their systems.
With twelve offices around the world, serving six continents, and a dedicated team of aviation and logistics specialists, BNP Associates, Inc. delivers unmatched expertise and a collaborative approach to every project. For over 54 years, we’ve been the trusted partner for airports and airlines worldwide—committed to excellence and client success.
