A Novel Intelligent IoT System for Improving the Safety and Planning of Air Cargo Operations

Being the main pillar in context of Industry 4.0, Internet Things (IoT) leads evolution towards a smarter and safer planet. human-centered, rather than machine-centered, as was case wireless sensor networks used industry for decades, IoT may enhance human intelligence with situational awareness, early warning, decision support tools. Focusing on air cargo transportation, “INTELLICONT” project presented novel solution capable improving critical challenges such reduction total aircraft weight, detection suppression smoke and/or fire container, elimination permanent moving locking hardware, loading unloading logistics enhancement maintenance. In present work, IoT-based monitoring control system intelligent containers is from hardware perspective. The based low-cost, low-energy sensors that are integrated into can track its status, detect events, fire/smoke, impact, accidental misuse. focus has been given to design development providing better during loading/unloading operations flight. It shown could provide breakthrough state art current container technology operations.
