At JPA we like to address all aspects of the customer’s journey, from arrival at the airport and bag-check in, to the lounge spaces through to the full cabin experience – entry space, seating, service ware and bed linens. And now the humble aviation cart.
Adding power
The most significant innovation as we see it would be to humanise the cart with the inclusion of power. Power can enable many beneficial features such as motorised drives, heating, lighting, translations and intelligence. Power would instantly transform the carts behaviour, interactions, operation and experience for all its users.
A new shape
Currently carts are cumbersome and heavy; half carts are tall and unstable. This cart is tailored to maximise its in service use, with refined ergonomics, dispensing provisions and subtly curving surfaces allowing a sympathetic coexistence alongside cabin products and passengers.
Shaped correctly, passing in the aisle is possible but with autonomous capabilities at the touch of a button the cart can auto park, sensing its surroundings as it goes, freeing the aisle quietly and efficiently.
Naturally, communications are present such that a seamless digital service can be provided between passengers and crew alike who with all these advancements can channel their energies into providing great service.
