[0005] With the growth in the air passenger travel, the number of bags that are being brought into airport terminals rises too. The airports and airline struggle to efficiently manage this increase of traffic volume with the limited infrastructure. The passengers have to stand in long queues for check in and baggage process. The airport infrastructure needs to be enhanced to cope up with increase in the passenger traffic, maintenance of printing infra / stationery etc is a recurring cost for the industry. Travelers often face challenges of delays and lost baggage.

[0006] The present invention addresses these issues by providing a convenient, reusable device that generates and displays a unique baggage identifier linked to the traveller’s boarding pass. While at baggage check in, the passenger has to wait in long queue, printing label, sticking it to bag etc leading to inconvenience and delays, also it does not give a seamless travel experience. Baggage anxiety is another condition most of the traveller’s experience when they are not aware of baggage status.

[0007] Airlines are looking at ways to improve efficiency through digital initiatives to reduce multiple check in counters, overload of manpower deployment for passenger processing. The long queues for baggage processing hamper on time performance of the aircraft. There are baggage handling inefficiencies and lack of tech integration that results in loss of baggage tracking.

[0008] Impeding industry sustainability goals owning to printing paper tags and maintenance of printing infra for recurring printing requirements. Inefficiency and recurring cost due to printing of tags and printing infrastructure maintenance are some of problems associated with the existing passenger baggage processing.
