As our twitter trend of the day is #TravelTuesday what could be more relevant to today's forum then the new technology that is currently being developed throughout UK airports today.
So does anyone else hate it when you have to carry your heavy suitcases all through the airport in order to find the right check in desk?
Me too!
With the new 'Robot Smart bags' that are being tested throughout UK airports there is no need to worry about transporting suitcases any longer
The 'Robot Smart Bags' allow passengers to pop their bags on to moving robots, scan your boarding ticket to the machine and then before you know it your bag has been transported on to the correct boarding flight. As well as this technology specialists are also discussing the use of electronic bag tags.
Are you bored of the paper tags attached to your luggage? They are not very secure and could easily be ripped off and lost when being transported on to planes. However the new electronic bag tags are not cheap, they are based around buying a particular suitcase where as the scanner is already built in. An app from your phone can track your suitcase and see if it has gone on to the correct plane!
How cool, don't know if its just me that thinks its cool from a tech nerds point of view but there you go. Makes travelling a bit more interesting
What do you think?
