Several leading global aviation companies recently announced the establishment of the "Airside Automation Group", aiming to jointly promote the transformation of the civil aviation industry in the UK and globally by deeply applying connected and automated technologies.
This group brings together industry leaders, with founding members including International Airlines Group, Heathrow Airport and Aer Lingus, among others. Its establishment marks a crucial step towards closer collaboration between the British aviation industry and the connected autonomous mobility sector, aiming to make the UK a global center for the research and deployment of aviation CAM technology.
The UK has demonstrated global leadership in the field of aviation CAM, with pioneering companies such as Aurrigo and Oxa emerging. Their technologies and solutions are being applied to multiple international hub airports around the world.
Aurrigo has independently developed an automated luggage towing vehicle, which has completed testing at Singapore Changi Airport. After the "Auto-Dolly" trailer and the simulation solution were successfully tested at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, they were recommended to over 60 airports worldwide.
Oxa is collaborating with logistics giant DHL to test its autonomous driving technology at Heathrow Airport, in an effort to explore new ways to enhance the efficiency of airport logistics and operations.
Fusion Processing, as another representative of British technology, is applying the years of experience it has gained in the field of autonomous passenger transportation to the deployment of airport shuttle bus services.
The core mission of this group is to bring together cross-industry forces, accelerate the transformation of innovative achievements, enhance the resilience of the UK supply chain, and attract investment in related fields, thereby consolidating the UK's global leadership position in this sector.
