According to research done by Aventus & Airport Perishables Handling (APH) at Heathrow Airport, airlines may save 7% overall on their cargo handling operations by using Web3-based solutions.
Since the 1990s, the global ULD management tool set has not changed, and it mainly depends on manual data inputs. This presents serious problems for data visibility and accuracy, secure information sharing, and pricey ULD losses, damages, and delays, which cost airlines more than $1.6 billion a year.
Web3 provides a strong response to the problems with conventional ULD administration using blockchain technology, by:
- Enabling tamper-proof, immutable records that provide a single source of truth, resolving conflicts, and enhancing regulatory compliance;
- Minimizing mistakes and cutting down on administrative expense by using self-executing smart contracts to automate manual tasks;
- To help airlines manage operations, real-time insight into ULD location, custodianship, and condition is made possible. Data exchange is also streamlined.
Aventus, a market leader in providing end-to-end Web3 solutions for businesses and parachain on Polkadot, discovered through a pilot study at Heathrow Airport that the cargo handling industry benefits greatly from its end-to-end blockchain-based solution in terms of data visibility, accuracy, and operational efficiency.
- 90% decrease in communication errors and mishaps due to digital data collection;
- 83% less time spent on manual documentation;
- Real-time decision-making is made possible by an 81% decrease in the interval between ULD stock updates—from 3–4 hours to only 30 minutes.
- A 28% decrease in loading times brought about by improved ULD loading workloads.
Alan Vey, Founder at Aventus, comments:
“These results are truly remarkable, underscoring the transformative potential of blockchain for not only the aviation industry but for supply chains globally. We are proud to be empowering enterprises to enhance data accuracy, reduce operational inefficiencies, and achieve greater transparency. As we expand our partnerships across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, we anticipate these results to only improve via network effects.”
Michelle Roosevelt, Director at Aviation Perishables Handling, adds:
“Aventus’ technology is fast and responsive, which is key in our busy airport environment. We’ve seen huge improvements in productivity. The app is more than a tool – it’s reshaped how we manage and track our aircraft containers, and the Aventus team’s support and expertise in meeting our needs has been outstanding.”
With the help of Aventus’ aviation solution, the Polkadot ecosystem now boasts relationships with big businesses such as Vodafone’s Digital Asset Broker, Aviation Perishables Handling at Heathrow Airport, and other major airlines in Asia and the Middle East.
