Patrik Petersson’s ‘SAS Check In Center’ streamlining begins with the luggage itself, which boasts a [hard shell, four wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bounce-checkin-trunk) and an ergonomic design. It’s implanted with an RFID chip so that each suitcase has its own ID number—sort of like a Social Security or driver’s license number for baggage. The airport’s check-in counter is equipped with a biometric reader to quickly identify the passenger and their luggage. Patrik Petersson’s ‘SAS Check In Center’ also helps save travelers time upon their arrival at their destination airport. A [luggage tracking feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knog-scout-travel), also through the RFID chip, lets travelers estimate the time their suitcase will arrive on the luggage carousel. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Intelligent Luggage:** Innovation opportunity to create intelligent, multifunctional luggage with RFID chip to streamline the airport process. - **Biometric Identification:** Opportunity to develop biometric identification technology for quick and seamless check-in process at airports. - **Luggage Tracking:** Disruptive innovation possibility to develop real-time luggage tracking systems to improve traveler experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Travel and Hospitality:** Industry with potential for implementing intelligent luggage and luggage tracking systems to improve the airport and travel experience. - **Security and Identification:** Industry with opportunity to create biometric identification technology for use in airports and other areas requiring high security. - **Logistics and Supply Chain:** Industry with potential to incorporate RFID technology in luggage tracking systems to improve efficiency and streamline logistics processes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Trackable Smart Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casesafe.md) - [Discreet Trackable Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qantas-x-july.md) - [Luggage Tracking Safety Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lost-luggage-tracker.md) - [Ultra-Modern Multifunctional Luggages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luggical.md) - [Powered Assistive Smart Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mishatu-voyager-smart-suitcase.md) - [See-Through Ride-On Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airwheel-suitcase.md) - [Business Traveler Suitcase Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-luggage.md) - [Trackable Travel Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-smart-collection-by-samsara.md) - [NFC-Enabled Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/straw-suitcases.md)
