Fast Track Keeps an Eye on Luggage

Apr-17-14 A new system from Fast Track uses an electronic baggage sticker and a geolocating device to allow users to keep track of their luggage's whereabouts while also saving time at the airport.

The eTag and eTrack can be used separately or together. The eTag is designed to replace the typical airline baggage sticker with an electronic sticker that allows the user to load the flight information at home, before the trip begins. The tag syncs with a smartphone via Bluetooth, allowing flight details to be automatically updated, and the bags can be dropped off at a fast drop. The eTrack is designed to fit inside the luggage, where its geolocational capabilities allow the user and the airline personnel to track it, and the bag's, location around the world.

The system will be made available to Air France and KLM frequent fliers at the end of the year. Air France-KLM's product innovation manager hopes the devices will become an industry initiative which can be used by passengers flying on any airline.
