Astronics to Demonstrate New Connected Aircraft Technologies at APEX Expo
Throughout the three-day event, Astronics will demonstrate its pioneering Smart Aircraft System technology, which includes the new Intelligent Bin Solution. This patent pending system uses Internet of Things (IoT) connection technologies to detect and report in real time the status of overhead stowage bins, which speeds aircraft boarding processes and reduces passenger stress. The company will preview software applications that provide a visual indication of remaining bin space, even if the bin is closed, to enable cabin and gate crews to quickly direct passengers to available bin locations and know when to start checking bags.
