Introducing the OneBin
The OneBin is a multi-compartment bin designed to revolutionize the security experience. The product will replace the existing single compartment bin with a multi-compartment bin with conspicuous and instructive labeling to decrease inspection time thereby increasing throughput. Specifically, the compartmented bin will improve efficiency in the divestiture process by providing clear, real-time guidance (labeled compartments) to the traveler. Almost all travelers will only need one compartmented bin to hold their belongings, thus OneBin per passenger.

Testimonials
The ONEBINS arrived in Germany and we can say we are completely satisfied with them. The ONEBINS are professional in their appearance and as soon as our Chinese clientele saw the labels on the tray then there is no need to explain that we are searching their belongings. My understanding is that they will go fleet wide.
The ONEBIN has great potential to achieve multiple goals for the agency such as:
1. Serve as a reminder to passengers to divest certain items,
2. Replace multiple bins with one for efficiency and effectiveness,
3. Encourage passengers to retrieve all items.
Such improvements will increase security checkpoint efficiency and effectiveness (e.g. reduce divesture time, scanning images, and recompose time) and enhance security.
The OneBin Team
The OneBin originated in a product development class at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Design Team spent copious hours researching the screening process and found the main causes of inefficiencies to be passenger confusion resulting in errors and the inability for security to review items quickly and efficiently. The prototype was tested at Boston’s Logan airport and praised by Boston’s TSA Director.
