Shoganai platform controls the airplane operating costs in real time

Airplane Solutions, founded in 2016 and incubated in La Salle Technova, emerged from the idea of a group of professionals with extensive experience in the world of aviation who decided to launch an ambitious R&D initiative to develop a new technology that could satisfy the airlines demand to efficiently control the operating costs of their fleet.

To accomplish that, they provide airlines with Shoganai platform: the first in the market that installs a hardware device in the airplane to control its operating costs in real time to achieve cost savings and operational efficiency. They have developed a modular Platform based in Cloud, IoT, Big Data, AI, VR, and ultimately, they use a Blockchain ledger to register all data captured by the hardware, and Blockchain smarts-contract to calculate airline's DOC. Thus, they make the service secure, reliable, auditable and trusted.

The main innovation of Shoganai is to capture specific telemetry directly from the aircraft, to use Blockchain for calculating the costs incurred during the flight and to offer both airline and suppliers (airports, fuelers, handlers) with a single source of truth. Additionally, their technology platform can be used, in other use cases and industries with intensive IoT telemetry and heterogenous supply chain.

They have finished a first pilot of real data collection with a European airline, and they are currently deploying a new pilot, also with a second European airline, thanks to the public financing granted: SME Phase II from EU (€ 2,280,000) & CDTI/Neotec from Spain (€ 220,000).

Their goal by 2021 is a turnover of € 17M with 65 employees and 15 airlines as customers, starting in Europe and USA markets, and then moving to the Asian market.
