An automated baggage handling system adapted to handle baggage objects of variable sizes, shapes and consistencies in an airport, where the system comprises a plurality of conveyor means (8, 10-15) for transporting objects from a first area to a second area where objects are loaded on or in storage devices, said system further comprising: - control means for controlling automatic operation of the system, - loading means provided for receiving objects from a conveyor means of said plurality of conveyor means and for transferring said objects according to a preselected transfer algorithm to at least one storage device to collect a plurality of objects, wherein the transfer algorithm includes selecting a position from a plurality of positions in or on a storage device, or selecting a specific storage device from a plurality of storage devices, according to one or more of destination in order to load storage devices with objects destined for more than one destination, travel class, weight and/or at least one measured length, - characterised in that the system further comprises - measurement means for measuring at least length in two substantially perpendicular directions of the objects while the objects are supported on a conveyor means of said plurality of conveyor means, said directions being substantially parallel to a supporting surface of the plurality of conveyor means supporting the objects while they are measured, and where at least one of said directions is along or substantially parallel to a side face of the objects, - orientation means for selectively turning objects in a substantially horizontal plane, while said objects are supported on a conveyor means of said plurality of conveyor means, and where the - control means are adapted to control the orientation of selected objects according to a selection in response to at least the measured lengths in relation to at least one predetermined value, before the objects are transferred to the storage device. - control means for controlling automatic operation of the system, - loading means provided for receiving objects from a conveyor means of said plurality of conveyor means and for transferring said objects according to a preselected transfer algorithm to at least one storage device to collect a plurality of objects, wherein the transfer algorithm includes selecting a position from a plurality of positions in or on a storage device, or selecting a specific storage device from a plurality of storage devices, according to one or more of destination in order to load storage devices with objects destined for more than one destination, travel class, weight and/or at least one measured length, - characterised in that the system further comprises - measurement means for measuring at least length in two substantially perpendicular directions of the objects while the objects are supported on a conveyor means of said plurality of conveyor means, said directions being substantially parallel to a supporting surface of the plurality of conveyor means supporting the objects while they are measured, and where at least one of said directions is along or substantially parallel to a side face of the objects, - orientation means for selectively turning objects in a substantially horizontal plane, while said objects are supported on a conveyor means of said plurality of conveyor means, and where the - control means are adapted to control the orientation of selected objects according to a selection in response to at least the measured lengths in relation to at least one predetermined value, before the objects are transferred to the storage device.
