In the fast-paced world of travel and aviation, where passenger expectations are evolving, Vision-Box stands at the forefront of innovation, constantly seeking ways to elevate the airport and airline experience and enable a connected world. A central pillar of our strategy is anticipating processes to enable smoother, more predictable flows and behaviours during the journey with a multistakeholder platform.
Setting the Stage for Change
The air travel industry has long aspired to deliver a seamless passenger experience, and with recent advancements in AI (Artificial Intelligence), camera technologies, and computing, that vision is now closer than ever.
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA): “75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes. Over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels, with an 88% satisfaction rate.”
Passengers imagine a future where they can arrive at the airport fully prepared to fly, breeze through airport procedures using biometrics, and have real-time visibility of their baggage whereabouts. Vision-Box is dedicated to driving this transformation and ensuring that passengers can place their trust in both the technology and the data security, focusing on having the highest throughput possible with a higher level of security and privacy.
Vision-Box’s Role in Fostering Seamless Travel
Vision-Box is paving the way for a future of travel where every component of the passenger journey seamlessly interacts to enhance efficiency, security, and the overall travel experience. It’s a tangible step toward a more traveller-centric, interconnected world of travel, where the traveller’s convenience and data security are top priorities.
Our Seamless Journey Platform serves as a collaborative ecosystem, orchestrating real-time data integration with biometric devices, and this prominent level of interoperability extends across the spectrum of travel stakeholders. Airlines can efficiently integrate our platform into their operations, leading to streamlined processes, cost optimization, and improved customer experiences. Airports can leverage interoperability to enhance security and operational efficiency at different checkpoints, resulting in increased throughput and revenue optimization. Moreover, border authorities can capitalize on this seamless interoperability by utilizing smart biometrics and advanced travel document authentication.
At the core of our philosophy is our unwavering commitment to “Privacy by Design”, a framework based on proactively embedding privacy into the design and operation of IT (Information Technology) systems, networked infrastructure, and business practices. Vision-Box is proud to stand as the only certified provider among our competitors in this regard, meaning we ensure in a unique way, that privacy and data security are paramount considerations throughout the entire development process, in every component and solution we deliver.
Seamless Biometric Solutions for the Future
Our future relies on the mobile experience, supported with consented data, enabling the safest and fastest biometric processing of travellers.
One of the most promising aspects of our vision is the concept of “free flow.” This groundbreaking approach combines innovative technologies such as smartphone biometric registration with consented data usage and on-the-move biometric capture in a free flow transaction. Picture a future where passengers can exit the plane and cross the border seamlessly in a simple corridor, eliminating the need for endless queues or traditional border control procedures.
This automated border screening system represents a significant leap forward, replacing the need for traditional self-service or manual transactions.
We are not just envisioning this future of travel; we are actively crafting it. The “free flow” concept epitomizes our commitment to transforming air travel into an experience that’s not just seamless but truly liberating. In this future, passengers can journey effortlessly and efficiently, knowing that every step is securely orchestrated to make travel as secure and as smooth as possible.
Navigating the Shifting Landscape of Travel
Biometrics are now the de facto standard for seamless and secure travel, with the human taking centre stage as the key to this transformative journey. Collaborative environments lie at the heart of this transformation, accelerated and facilitated by multi-stakeholder seamless services platforms that bring governments, businesses, and travellers together, creating a harmonious ecosystem that enhances the travel experience.
The concept of free flow is gaining traction, becoming more common, secure, and accepted by governments, businesses, and travellers alike. However, operationalizing the Free Flow effort at scale and effectively managing change in operations present challenges that require careful consideration.
As we embrace biometrics, collaborative platforms, smartphones, and the evolving concept of free flow, it’s essential to keep a keen eye on the political challenges that can impact the pace of innovation and change in the travel industry. Navigating this dynamic landscape requires a thoughtful blend of technology, collaboration, and strategic decision-making, overall, an interoperable approach.
In conclusion, our unwavering commitment to enhancing the passenger experience through interoperability, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and our biometric solutions is shaping the future of the travel industry. As we embrace collaborative environments and the concept of free flow, we’re navigating this dynamic landscape with a focus on innovation, privacy, and efficiency.
