Zenoscan

Zenoscan brings hand-luggage and check-in bags together at one early AI-CT scan touchpoint. enabling real-time repacking and reducing queues, delays, and wasted items. By fixing packing mistakes before passengers enter the queue, it removes the friction that slows regional airports and restores a clean, continuous flow through security.

Research

This project is grounded in on-site research at Jorhat Airport, studying how passengers, staff, space, and security processes actually behave under real conditions. Across multiple flights and peak-hour windows, we tracked passenger movement, repacking behaviour, trolley congestion, staff interventions, and the flow around the standalone X-ray for check-in baggage.

Layout Observation

Layout Observation

X-ray and security queues overlap, passenger movement intersects at multiple points, and unclear signage creates confusion about where to go after bags are scanned. Poorly visible stalls are often missed, further contributing to an inefficient and disjointed layout.

Problem Statement

Problem Statement

Airports face frequent delays at baggage screening due to passenger confusion regarding item

categorization, restricted goods, and improper packing. These issues result in repeated repacking,

manual inspections, longer queues, discarded passenger belongings, and increased operational

strain on security staff.

Design Brief

Develop a solution that enables passengers to screen both hand and check-in baggage for security

compliance early in the airport process, allowing passengers to rearrange or repack items as needed.

Working Surface Height

  • Optimal height: 850–950 mm

  • Rationale: Accommodates 5th to 95th percentile of Indian adult population for comfortable standing operation.

Bag Placement Platform

  • Check-in baggage platform height: 300 – 400 mm

  • Hand baggage tray height: 800 –900 mm

  • Rationale: Facilitates easy lifting and placement, reducing strain, especially for heavier luggage.
