Hactl installs cargo thermal detection system to enhance safety

Hong Kong-based Aerovision Technology (ATL) and Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals (Hactl) signed a collaboration agreement to install ATL’s patented intelligent cargo thermal detection system at suitable locations within Hactl’s SuperTerminal 1. Hactl is also the world’s first air cargo terminal equipped with an intelligent cargo thermal detection system, which will further enhance the safety and reliability of cargo inspection to address the increasing volume of hazardous air cargo and mitigate potential fire risks, says an official release. The collaboration agreement was signed on December 14, 2023 at Hong Kong Asia World-Expo by Angus Cheung, CEO, ATL and Wilson Kwong, Chief Executive, Hactl, the release added. “By combining advanced thermal imaging technology, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, data analytics, and artificial intelligence, ATL has overcome the limitations of existing thermal energy monitoring techniques. The system can monitor the temperature of different cargo materials in various environments in real-time and quickly identify any abnormal conditions, triggering alerts.”
