Panasonic Vacuum Cleaner to Collect AirPods that Fall on the Train Track

Panasonic Vacuum Cleaner to Collect AirPods

Panasonic has created an upright vacuum cleaner that is designed to recover AirPods or any other similar headset that may fall onto the train tracks in Japan. A solution to a problem that has worsened over the months and the popularization of this type of sound devices so comfortable for size and weight. Although those same advantages have been driving operators crazy who for a long time tried to recover them with the hook they had until now.

The AirPods vacuum cleaner

Most countries in the world have their own peculiarities, although it must be recognized that some stand out above the rest on their own merits. One of them is Japan, the country of the rising sun offers a culture that would create a series called “Things that only happen in Japan” that could last a long time, because surely you can always find something that they do in such a different way. to the rest that it is impossible not to pay attention to them.

And of course, being as they are, we must also recognize that they are usually unique when it comes to looking for certain solutions to day-to-day problems. One of the latter that could only happen there is the new vacuum cleaner that Panasonic has created with the aim of allowing railway workers in Japan to recover AirPods that fall on the tracks .

Yes, something that happens in many other countries where both the subway and the train are means of mass transport. But in Japan it seems that the number of cases was increasing significantly. Especially in areas like Tokyo where between July and September almost 1,000 cases of losses had been reported.

So, since they don’t want to leave them on the tracks for many reasons, they had to find an optimal solution. Because so far they had been using a hook that was not optimal. And it was not his fault, because that was and continues to be a valid tool for other types of objects that can fall such as plastic bags, papers, soda cans and others similar in size.

However, some AirPods or any of the other true wireless headphones on the market are much smaller and less heavy, so they cost much more to retrieve. So you had to find a more efficient, faster and safer option. In this video you can see the problem, even if you don’t understand Japanese.

In the end, the solution has been provided by Panasonic by creating an upright vacuum cleaner with a kind of “whisker” that allows AirPods or other similar headphones to be sucked. In this way, it is possible to quickly remove these devices from the tracks with practically no effort. Another thing is that their owner can get them back if he does not notify and they can do it at the moment.

The solution in question is still striking. Although what should not be funny to the owners of such headphones is to lose one. Especially knowing that they are not cheap at all. In the end, the accessories to hold them, despite breaking the aesthetics, can be ideal for all those who are not securely attached.
