From Testing to Tangible Success: SMARTSlot® MVP in Action
Witness the evolution of SMARTSlot® from concept to reality as we delve into the testing phase, where the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) took center stage. Explore how the MVP validated SMARTSlot® potential and laid the initial groundwork for its widespread adoption.
✈ Conceptual Innovation to Practical Reality:
The MVP wasn’t just a concept; it was a tangible realisation of SMARTSlot® innovation. As the Minimum Viable Product, it marked a crucial step in the journey from theory to practical, showcasing the feasibility and effectiveness of SMARTSlot® in real-world operational scenarios.
✈ Operational Flights with Industry Leaders:
Operational flights became the proving ground for the SMARTSlot® MVP. Collaborating with industry leaders like Aer Lingus and JetStar Japan, SMARTSlot® validated its capabilities through a series of flights that demonstrated efficiency, predictability, and a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.
✈ Successful Integration with Manual Inputs:
During testing, the MVP successfully integrated with (for the trial) manual inputs for air traffic control. This strategic approach ensured a smooth transition, allowing us to showcase the benefits of SMARTSlot® without requiring extensive technical support, laying the foundation for future automated integration.
✈ Pathway to Full Automation:
The MVP testing phase wasn’t just about the present; it was a pathway to the future. While the MVP demonstrated success with manual inputs, our ongoing development focuses on finalising a seamless link with air traffic control for full automation, taking SMARTSlot® to the next level of operational excellence.
