Sinocloud Wisdom has been awarded the Second-Class Prize of the 2022 Civil Aviation Science and Technology Progress Award for its pioneering project, the "Integrated Intelligent Inspection and Tracking System for Inbound Passenger Baggage at International Hub Airports." Developed in collaboration with Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Pudong Airport Customs, and other industry leaders, this recognition highlights Sinocloud’s leading role in advancing smart aviation infrastructure.

The award, issued by the China Air Transport Association (CATA) under the guidance of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), underscores the project's contribution to modernizing airport operations nationwide.

Key Innovations and Impact

The awarded system integrates artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and big data technologies to tackle key challenges in baggage tracking, risk detection, and cross-agency coordination—including customs, security, and ground services.

By establishing a unified data platform, the system enables real-time baggage monitoring, reduces the need for manual inspections, and improves contraband detection accuracy by over 30%.

At Shanghai Pudong Airport—China’s third-largest international hub—the implementation of this technology has reduced average passenger baggage clearance time from over an hour to under 35 minutes, significantly supporting China’s "Smart Port" initiative under the 14th Five-Year Plan.

Nationwide Deployment and Future Goals

Following its success at Pudong, the system has been deployed at Harbin Taiping International Airport, Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, and Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport, with further expansion plans underway for Yantai Penglai International Airport.

Sinocloud Wisdom’s CTO reaffirmed the company’s commitment to driving the digitization of aviation infrastructure through AIoT (AI + IoT) innovations, fully supporting China’s vision for "Four-Type Airports"—green, smart, human-centric, and resilient.
