Hactl and Aerovision develop new fire detection tech

[ December 15, 2023   //   ]

Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) has signed an agreement with Aerovision Technology Limited (ATL) to install its intelligent cargo thermal detection system at  Hactl’s SuperTerminal 1, the first use of the technology at an airfreight facility.

It combines advanced thermal imaging technology, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, data analytics, and artificial intelligence to overcome the limitations of existing monitoring techniques. The system can monitor the temperature of different cargo materials in various environments in real time and quickly identify any abnormal conditions.

The partners say it will address the increasing volume of hazardous air cargo and mitigate potential fire risks.

ATL will provide system design, supply, installation, commissioning, training, and maintenance support. Additionally, the two parties will collaborate closely to explore new technologies and solutions to meet future demands in the air cargo industry.
