“The sharing and correctness of information are very important for the aviation industry. The decentralization of blockchain technology and distributed databases are in line with the needs of the aviation industry.” Dr. Qu Qiang of Shenzhen Advanced Institute said that China Eastern Airlines, sponsored by Tencent Cloud The blockchain technology application seminar was held in Shenzhen. Blockchain experts from home and abroad and Shenzhen Airport and China Southern Airlines discussed the application prospects of blockchain technology in aircraft maintenance, baggage tracking and aviation logistics.
Recently, Egypt’s aviation has caused widespread concern. Aviation safety has become a hot topic. Professor Dr. Taudes Alfred from the Austrian National Blockchain Technology Research Center proposed that blockchain technology should be widely used in aircraft operations and maintenance. According to Alfred, there are many aircraft parts and hundreds of parts suppliers all over the world, and one aircraft can last for 30 years. During this period, it will be transferred between different airlines to record the maintenance history of the aircraft. Ensuring flight safety is paramount.
“Most of the data collected during the past aircraft maintenance process was non-digital, which would lead to incomplete information and increased risk of flight accidents,” Alfred said. “If using blockchain management, authentication, key, data access Information such as history can accurately know who did what to do to the aircraft at what time.”
Mishandling, loss and damage to luggage are another major pain point in the aviation industry. The data shows that in 2017, the global misoperation of Li Da 22.7 million pieces caused about $2.3 billion in losses to airlines. For a long time, airlines and airports have wanted to quickly collect detailed information on the baggage handling process while sharing the data in real time.
It is not so easy to share the real-time baggage data. According to Du Mingqian of the Second Research Institute of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, baggage handling is highly demanding. If a handheld device similar to the express delivery industry is used to collect information, the speed of baggage handling will be delayed. In addition, the baggage handling modes of different airports in China are different, and the baggage system integrators are also different, which makes the data sharing and real-time tracking of baggage difficult to advance.
In order to solve the above problems, Second Research Institute of the Civil Aviation Administration of China has developed baggage intelligent processing and full tracking technology. According to Du Mingqian, the system uses RFID technology to complete the baggage sorting and baggage tracking airports and automatically collects and tracks information in various key links such as baggage delivery, transportation, sorting and loading.
Qu Qian suggested that because the baggage consignment involves more participants, the collected baggage logistics information is stored in the blockchain, which can smoothly solve the problem of payment disputes when the baggage is lost.
