TownChat

Blockchain based IoT solution for airports to make security checkpoints check in, check out and passport control 20x faster and stress free through Traveler QR ID and Alexa Robot Immigration Buddies for touchless identification. Our advanced facial and Iris recognition algorithm makes identification process 10x faster.

We have completed and validated the MVP of our QR ID with 763 Users while our Robot Immigration Buddies are under development.

We are targeting Airports, Airlines, Travelers and Local Brands. Our Total Addressable Market Size is $3 Billion while our Initial Target Market size is $460 Million.

Everyday 3.5 Million travelers check-in or check-out at airports around the world. Due to long queues it takes on average 1 hour to complete immigration process which causes loss of 3.5 million Passenger Hours which is equivalent to 6 lifetimes worth of time and $25 million in Economic Value. Also 250,000 travelers miss their flights daily due to long immigration queues and there is also lost revenue for restaurants and stores in airports because travelers could not find free time for coffee and shopping.

In covid 19 new normal 76% of travelers, according to Dynata Survey, opted that their preferred destination will be countries that offer touchless and contactless experience at airports.

TownChat is going to provide Traveler QR ID to travelers and Alexa Robot Immigration Buddies to airports for seamless and touchless immigration in 3-5 minutes. We will do this by integrating passport, visa and ticketing information into an individual QR code for each traveler, which will be stored on their smart phone. The traveler will scan the QR code through Robot Buddies at immigration check point and will get baggage, boarding and immigration pass. They will then scan QR ID at security checkpoints and will pass through. If needed travelers can also use their Passport and Visa instead of QR ID to scan through Robot Buddies for touchless immigration. Our solution will work both ways. Data will be saved in the database of immigration and security authorities while the data of QR ID Usage will also be saved on blockchain. Airports and Airlines can also provide customer service to travelers through our alexa robot buddies.

We are also integrating Thermal Scanner and Far UVC (222 nm) Light in our Robot Buddies to meet the challenges of Covid-19 by monitoring the temperature of travelers and by dis-infecting them before entering in the premises of airport.

We do not have direct competitors. Our indirect competitors are Airside, Clear and Vision-Box. All of them involve biometric identification and Advanced Passenger Information Sharing. They do not provide touchless immigration and security checkpoints check in.

Our solution will not only provide touchless immigration using QR ID and Robot Immigration Buddies but will also allow travelers to process immigration remotely by sharing their information in advance while they are enroute to airport or just getting out of plane.
