Project description
Smart satellite tracking for ULD in any airport of the world
Millions of containers with cargo are transported every day in airports all over the world. Old-fashioned printed labels and bar codes often allow for mistakes and misguidances. Airports and airfreight companies need a smart solution to better track air-shipments. The EU-funded STAP-WATCHER project aims to develop and commercialise the STAP technology, creating the world’s first and cleverest space-based ULD tracker for airports and airfreight. It will allow permanent and complete indoor and outdoor monitoring due to open protocol interfaces that cooperate with all other airport and logistics management systems in the world. Combining data from satellites, local systems, aircraft, airports and different sensors, it will optimise all systems and energy consumption for universal use.
Objective
Main Task is the development and commercialization of STAP ULD-Watcher, a RFID and satellite-based chip to enable worldwirde and real-time localization of ULDs where no additional infrastzructure is needed.
The core of STAP is a technology which is in line with IATA air cargo regulations. The value chain includes various groups: airports (implementation partners), airfreight companies (short term customers), transport organizations (customers), forwarding companies (potential supporter of the technology), ground service companies at airports (crucial partners for installation, service and proof of concept), manufacturer of ULD transport vehicles and ULD lifters (potential strategic partners) and second source service provider which are working with tracking data (potential strategic partners).
The main customer benefits and USPs of STAP-Watcher are the user friendliness (unique and simple plug-in-and-play system working both indoor and outdoor), highly accurate monitoring as well as the unmatched price (30% cheaper than any closest competitor product in market), which offers a unique return on investment time of 1.2 -2 years, depending on the size and special needs of a specific airport. Further advantages over state-of-the-art systems include small system size, equipped additional sensors, fully automatic documentation (designed for very small to extremely large airport & cargos), no need of addition infrastructure and smart control through actual AT-patented technology. A global PCT is filed in September-2019 to cover whole EU and some core countries worldwide. The airlines and cargo forwarder including ground handlers save upto 16% time and labour costs using STAP watcher compared to currently used state-of-the-art technologies. Furthermore, our open protocol interface is compatible to any Airport and logistics management and automatic decision management system worldwide.
