The automated self check-in kiosk is where travelers can retrieve their boarding passes, select their seats and print their baggage tags.

It is considered a time-saver for air travelers as the automated self check-in kiosk can perform what a ground staff can do. Travelers can save time spent waiting in the queue doing something much more significant as a result.

Furthermore, it will not involve an airport staff unless needed as it is now an interaction between a human and screen.

Automated Drop Bag

Experience a hands on tagging and checking in your own baggage with the automated drop bag machine. The conventional check-in counters are make available for travellers who still wish to be assisted by the friendly ground staff.

Automated Check-in Facial Recognition 

 

The advanced face recognition technology captures a quick face scan at each barrier point for security and verification purpose. The purpose is also to ensure that the same traveller follows throughout the entire process.

In addition, the security machines are well equipped with a medical grade Computed Tomography (CT) security scanner. As a result travellers can now dump their carry ons into a large tray and save the hassle of removing their gadgets from their bags to place them on a separate tray.

You will be surprise by how quick security checks can be.

Automated Cleaning Auntie Robot

What more can I say! Even the cleaning of floor is automated at Terminal 4.

The robot aunties are dressed in the same yellow uniform as the Changi’s cleaning staff. These robot aunties are able to detect objects ahead of them, and will stop automatically when an obstruction is detected.

Automated Boarding Gates

The Automated Boarding Gates only required travellers to scan their boarding passes; a photo will then be taken and verify against the photo taken at the Automated Immigration to authenticate their identity.

Now traveller can breeze through boarding via the Automated Boarding Gates with just one simple step. How convenient it has become!
