Case Study
LIVE LUGGAGE ACTIVATION & CONTROL SYSTEM
Project
Live Luggage is the "world first" power assisted luggage. The base unit contains and In2tec patented sensor and control system that measures the force applied by the user and provides closed loop feedback to intelligently drive the "pan wheel" motors that are housed in the wheel structure. The system had to be intuitive, safe, simple and robust enough to withstand the rigours of hard travel.
Solution
In2tec were involved heavily in the design and development of the whole luggage project after the initial design solution of the power assistance system . The e-mech specialists in In2tec provided conceptualisation prototypes for the power system and developed these into a full blown production system. The ideas and result created a patented system that protects Live Luggage from the copying prospects in the luggage market.
The system has been tested in UL accredited laboratories and passed stringent tests carried out in industry test laboratories in Satra technologies. A significant additional benefit In2tec provided was the a comprehensive project management approach that was then successfully applied to the whole Live Luggage PA project.
