Function №1: Digital Lock
Most of the "smart" suitcases, which have been used for many years by travelers from different countries, are equipped with complex locks. Some suitcases can be opened by scanning the fingerprints of the owner, others - through the application on the mobile phone.
Function №2: Bag-compartment
To fully meet the requirements of experienced travelers, suitcases with "take out" compartment or suitcases that can be fold-out into individual bags begin to appear on the market. Now, before you put you suitcase in the overhead bin in the plane, you can pull out the compartment with a laptop and documents, or you can even take a small compartment with you to the meeting, leaving the suitcase in the hotel or in the storage room.
Function №3: GPS-tracker
With the built-in GPS module, the suitcase is easy to track. For example, you want to know whether it was loaded into your plane or where your lost suitcase is in case of confusion at the airport. Such a suitcase will also inform the owner when it is on the baggage carousel.
Function №4: Wardrobe
Some suitcases now are made in the form of mini wardrobes. Actually the appearance remains the same, but the general block is divided into several pull-out compartments, where all the baggage fits well. With such a practical function, you no longer need to put things out of a suitcase - it means less risk to forget something at the hotel.
Function №5: Charging of gadgets
The owner of a “smart” bag does not need to look for a free outlet at the airport to charge the phone or tablet. It's enough to use the built-in power bank right in your own suitcase.
Function №6: Compact folding
If suitcases-“matryoshkas” do not surprise anyone, then the suitcase, which can be folded as a simple stool, is something new. Two years ago, rumors about the launch of a compact suitcase on the market began to spread. In this suitcase the side walls and the platform with the wheels are bent inside the frame, which makes it possible to place the suitcase under a bed.
Function №7: Scooter
Several well-known brands already produce suitcases-scooters. As a rule, all of them are focused on people who travel frequently on working issues. These suitcases are compact and are designed for a small set of clothes and a laptop - the ideal format for hand luggage.
Function №8: Scales
Built-in scales allow you to go to the airport feeling relaxed and calm and not to put out of your suitcase extra things in the bustle right in front of the registration desk. Some manufacturers build in this function for an additional fee, in more expensive models the function of scales is a standard option.
Function №9: Self-driving
They say, the future is much closer than it seems. For example, an "intelligent" suitcase has already been developed which, besides many of the above functions, also manages to drive independently. Now you do not need to drag the luggage behind you - it will easily track the owner's route and will accompany you even in the crowd.
