2. SMART CABIN LUGGAGE
PRODUCT IDEA #1
DIGITAL WEIGHT SCALE DON’T FORGET YOUR LUGGAGE
• Notifies you when
you go out of
threshold area.
• Report Lost if the
luggage is lost
• Find your
luggage, if in
range.
• Weigh
your
luggage
as you lift
it up
PROTOTYPING PROCESS:
The prototyping is divided into
following four parts:
1. Weighing Mechanism
2. Bluetooth Feature
3. Embedding the electronics into
the suitcase
4. Designing the mobile
application.

3. STEP 1# THEORETICAL DESIGN VIA SKETCHING
Figuring out the design
and prototyping process
Designing on paper: how the
first level prototype with look
Designing on paper: how the
first level prototype can be made

4. STEP 2# A QUICK EXPERIMENT FOR FEASIBILITY CHECK OF WEIGHING MECHANISM
Since making a weighing mechanism is
time consuming and challenging, I
decided to use an off the shelf
component, and do the feasibility testing.
Fixing of the weighing
mechanism on the suitcase
Experiment Successful. The idea is Feasible.
Tested by lifting the luggage and seeing if this
gives and accuthe weighing mechanism still
works!

5. STEP#2 A QUICK EXPERIMENT TO UNDERSTAND THE ATTACHMENT OF WEIGHING MECHANISM
I ripped off the off-the-shelf weighing
machine to understand how can I fit the
existing piece of technology into the
desired form
Then attached the weighing mechanism,
to a card box so as to understand
attachment to design the casing

6. STEP#3 TAKING AND MARKING THE MEASUREMENTS FOR THE CASING INTERFACE ON THE SUITCASE
Figuring out the measurements the casing
according to the existing suitcas; by
pasting a paper and marking accurate
measurements for all the components
Taking the measurements fFnal measurementsMarking the measurements

7. STEP#4 DESIGNING THE CASING BASED ON ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS
In order to design the casing, I made a few
3d models of paper. Measurements were
not to scale, since it was an exercise to
understand the complex 3d structures.
