The Intelligent Bin Sensing Solution is a leading-edge, patented
and patent-pending system, able to detect and report—in
real-time—information about the status of overhead bins such as the
percentage of fullness, which speeds the aircraft boarding process
and reduces passenger stress. In addition, the system reports the
temperature, humidity, pressure, and air quality within the bin,
detecting outgassing events such as those that precede a
lithium-ion battery overheating. This early warning can increase
safety and avoid costly aircraft diversions.
The APEX/IFSA award recognizes the best cabin innovation that
creates a thoughtful new cabin environment, including galleys,
lavatories, and means to increase efficiency for crew. “We are
honored to have been selected and thankful to the APEX/IFSA team
for recognizing us with this award,” said Jon Neal, President of
Astronics Ballard Technology. “At Astronics, we are always looking
for innovative ways to enhance the passenger experience while
creating value for airlines that result in operational
savings.”
The Astronics Smart Aircraft system is currently undergoing
evaluation with multiple launch partners with the expectation of
certifying the product for aircraft installation mid-2020.
Astronics will provide demos of this system at the APEX EXPO
September 10 – 12 in booth 1429.
