Samsung launches Smart Tagged Baggage Service in partnership with Turkish Airlines
Today, Samsung has announced a partnership with Turkish Airlines for using SmartThings Find to locate lost bags for people traveling with the airline.
The two companies have thus launched the Smart Tagged Baggage Service. This lets Turkish Airlines passengers track lost or delayed luggage using Samsung's SmartThings Find, the location-tracking service.
Of course the idea here is that you'd place a Galaxy SmartTag in your luggage. Then, if your luggage is lost or delayed, you can send Turkish Airlines a link with location data in your lost luggage report.
You can also use the Change Device Image feature in SmartThings Find to upload a photo of your actual bag in the SmartThings app, making it easier for your luggage to be identified if misplaced.
SmartThings Find uses Bluetooth Low Energy and ultra-wideband technology to locate Galaxy devices in a network of more than 700 million. Samsung plans to expand collaborations with additional airlines for the Smart Tagged Baggage Service.
