Product Vision :
Our vision is to develop an integrated airport security and convenience platform using advanced technology to streamline passenger processing and ensure robust security. The platform features biometric identification, automated check-in and boarding, AI-driven screening, real-time information systems, baggage tracking, passenger flow management, and enhanced customer service, all compliant with global security standards. Top use cases include reducing wait times, efficient check-in, real-time updates, seamless baggage handling, optimized passenger flow, enhanced customer service, privacy protection, cost-effective solutions, scalable integration, and continuous improvement. Launching in June 2025, the platform aims to address key pain points such as long security lines, intrusive screening, delays, lost baggage, and lack of real-time information. Leveraging our strengths in technology, partnerships, and global presence, we aim to create a secure and convenient airport environment, balancing stringent security measures with an improved passenger experience. The goal is to balance feasibility and profitability for the final product.
