We have seen videos of baggage handlers and package deliveries take a
turn for the worse. The problem is that often it is difficult to pin
down who did what, and when to your stuff while it was in transit.
Baggage
handlers at airports have earned infamy for poor handling of personal
luggage, although they are not the only source of potential damage to
checked baggage. Turbulence during the flight or a broken stow in the
cargo compartment can shift things around and potentially cause damage.
That fancy whiz-bang gadget you just ordered has its challenges as
well. Maybe the delivery driver is having a day of lapsed judgment
decides to play soccer with your package. Or, maybe things get bumped
around at the sorting facility.
It would be pretty cool if you
could know just how well your package is being treated while it is in
transit right? There are already devices that measure designated
impacts for sensitive items, but they are either mechanical in nature
(and often single use) or are super-sophisticated and thus cost
prohibitive. DropTag bridges that gap with a Bluetooth connected
telemetry tag that will provide real time updates to your device.
With
DropTag, from the moment a package is shipped or a bag is dropped, you
will be able to see how and when your goods are being (mis)treated. The
company behind DropTag, Cambridge Consultants, is still developing the
hardware and mobile application that accompanies it, but from the looks
of things, they are well on their way to having a nice value-add piece
for merchants and customers alike.
