Smart luggage companies have failed to provide unique security features for business travellers, compromising their baggage safety, wasting their time, and jeopardizing valuable reports and documents. Therefore, we have created CARRIEBY to offer business travellers unique fingerprint entry, preventing unauthorized access and boosting travel efficiency.

THE STORY BEGAN
DESIGN STORY
Challenges
- Online communications are hard to maintain via group chats, personal DMs seem to elicit and more response.
- Python programming for a Mobile App building for phase 2
- Limited understanding SQL databases
- Potential misunderstandings of the MVP phases
- Potential arises of conflict within groups.
- Limited knowledge of professional videography and Video editing.
- Dependency of a few key individuals for crucial tasks such as Arduino Programming or 3D CAD Modelling.
Solution
- Key member dependency: Document key processes and use Trello for task transparency and knowledge sharing.
- Video editing skill gaps: Use basic tools like CapCut and focus on clean, simple edits; skip overproduced content.
- Group conflict risks: Assign a team lead to manage conflicts and set team expectations early with clear roles.
- MVP misunderstandings: Build a clear MVP outline on a shared Figma board with visuals and scope boundaries.
- Limited SQL knowledge: Youtube - Python for mobile app: Youtube
- Communication issues: Use Microsoft Teams for structured chats, meetings, and file sharing to keep everyone aligned.

THE PROCESS
PROTOTYPE DESIGN
The Smart Travel Suitcase prototype targets modern travellers, especially business and tech-savvy individuals. It features a fingerprint scanner for secure access, a USB charging port for on-the-go device charging, and a durable exterior made of polycarbonate or ABS plastic to withstand frequent use. A power management system conserves energy by powering down inactive components. The suitcase includes a removable 100Wh power bank that complies with airline regulations and features an auto-wake function to activate charging when unplugged.
To ensure security, the fingerprint scanner will be tested under various conditions, including with wet or oily fingers. The suitcase is designed to be lightweight but durable, with reinforced corners and waterproof casings to protect the electronics. The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) power management system uses deep sleep mode to save power. Feedback from MVP testing will guide product refinement, including enhancing the fingerprint scanner’s accuracy and optimizing battery performance. The MVP follows a Build-Test-Learn-Refine approach, with potential future features like GPS tracking and geo-fencing.

RESULTS
FINAL PRODUCT
The development of the Smart Travel Suitcase follows a clear and organized process. First, we define the key features, like fingerprint access, a USB charging port, and a removable power bank, to address common travel problems. The goal is to create a simple, affordable product that is both durable and useful.
The next step is to build a prototype of the suitcase, which includes essential features like a power management system and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to save power. After the prototype is made, it is tested with real users to gather feedback on things like battery life, ease of use, and security.
Based on this feedback, we enter a refinement phase, making improvements to the product. This includes fine-tuning the fingerprint scanner, improving battery performance, and adding more features in the future, like GPS tracking and geo-fencing.
Once the product is ready, we focus on scaling it, making sure it meets airline regulations and is durable enough for everyday use. We also plan to market it through digital ads, partnerships with influencers, and collaborations with airlines, aiming to reach business travelers and tech-savvy users. The goal is to position the Smart Travel Suitcase as a top choice in the growing smart luggage market.
