emaratech presents smart trolley and intelligent
baggage handling systems
During the recently concluded edition of Dubai Airshow, emaratech
launched a series of products that will soon be in action at the
airports enhancing passenger experience as well as improving
baggage handling efficiency.
emaratech’s Airport Smart Trolley comes with a web-based
dashboard that allows the airport to locate and send notifications
during shopping to individual passengers, channelise information
about shops, restaurants and services; locate devices that need
to be charged, collect granular data on all types of passenger
interaction, display advertisements from shops and restaurants and
export trolley data to BI tools to learn from it.
Furthermore, the Smart Trolley guides the passenger through
the airport. With boarding pass identification via the trolley, it
keeps passengers up to date with their flight information and
boarding gates.
In addition to the Smart Trolley, emaratech showcased the Next
Generation Scanner Trolley with a scannable design that makes
the trolley compatible with the new age security scanner and links
the passenger journey from security to gate. The Scanner Trolley
helps in efficient security process and will take passengers quickly
through security without queuing, and will have well-prepared and
stress-free passengers who will have more time to shop, eat and
relax before the flight. The third smart product to be launched by
emaratech is the Intelligent Baggage Handling System that offers
an end-to-end baggage handling system based on Lean principles,
with the aim to create an efficient, intelligent, and lift-free process of
inbound and outbound baggage at airports. The departure system
consists of two elements, the Capacity Booster Storage and the
Make-Up Station.
