Technology delivers its full value in aviation when it enhances safety and operational processes reliably in the background. The Cabin Technologies category winner represents innovations that strengthen operational excellence and safety and integrate seamlessly into existing cabin systems.

The AviusULD SmartULD – Fire Tag tracking device detects early thermal runaway conditions in lithium-ion batteries—up to two hours before a fire occurs. It can be installed both in cabin overhead bins as well as in Unit Load Devices (ULDs) loaded into the cargo hold, thereby improving safety in both passenger and cargo aircraft.

The jury selected this solution for its simple and elegant approach to a highly relevant safety challenge. It addresses the growing issue of device-related risks without adding certification burden or complex system integration. Recognizing its practicality and forward-looking relevance, the jury sees strong potential for it to become an industry baseline, prioritizing safety as a fundamental and necessary innovation.
