December 15, 2023How To Access Smart Trolley?
Here's how you can take the help of smart trolleys that are available at Hyderabad airport. Once you take a smart trolley, here are the steps to operate it:
Click on Start Now on the screen of the trolley.
Scan your boarding pass on the QR code.
If the scan doesn't work, click on the Find Flight option.
Check the list of flights and select your flight.
Once your flight gate number is announced, your trolley screen will notify you according to your boarding time.
Apart from flight tracking at the airport, this smart trolley also guides the passengers to lounges, washrooms etc. The trolleys are equipped with a built-in alert system that triggers a notification if they enter a designated 'no-zone' area. A message is then generated, providing the trolley's location, enabling the operations team to take prompt action to retrieve it.
Hyderabad's Smart Trolley
In 2020, GMR Hyderabad International Airport (GHIAL), also known as Rajiv Gandhi International Airport introduced an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled smart baggage trolley system for tracking and maintaining the availability of baggage trolleys in real-time across the airport.
The airport claims to have become India's first airport to deploy this technology. It was reported that an entire fleet of 3,000 baggage trolleys was installed with the LoRa (Long Range) platform. This technology aims to reduce waiting times for baggage trolleys.
