Improved Luggage Security
The rate of the lost and the stolen bags at the baggage reclaiming area is as low as 5% of the total mishandled bags. However, it costed the air industry over $500Millions US Dollars in 2018, and it is a sufficient cause to keep passengers’ anxiety all flight long till they got their belongings back.
BERDS will highly contribute in improving luggage security. Displaying every bag’s details gives a strong impression that all the bags are very well observed, creating a psychological factor deter any fraud attempt.
The option of displaying passenger photos will engage all passengers around the carousel in the securing of the luggage; fraudsters will feel as they are being observed by everyone around. A theft would not dare to take any bag from carousel that would be obviously clear to everyone around it is not his bag.
In addition, Dynamic Display System together with the fraud alarm function by BERDS App, form an integrated robust solution that firmly guards and secures luggage at reclaiming carousel while passengers are away.
