This catalog introduces innovative solutions jointly announced by Hoopo and Springshot, aimed at improving the efficiency of ground support operations. Hoopo's GPS-equipped load detection tracker can accurately detect the location and container loading status of non-powered ground support equipment (GSE) such as dollies and ULDs. Meanwhile, Springshot provides workforce and task management software for ground support, centralizing asset management and personnel management. The integration of both solutions enables tracking of equipment, management of utilization rates, and reduction of waiting times in airport operations, maximizing operational efficiency and resource utilization. Thousands of trackers have already been deployed at multiple international airports, significantly reducing the time on-site staff spend searching for equipment. With geofencing and predictive analytics features, asset placement in warehouses and on ramps is optimized, supporting data-driven airport operations. This integrated solution addresses challenges in the aviation industry, such as labor shortages and rising operational costs, maximizing outcomes with fewer resources. Hoopo and Springshot are paving the way for the future of airport operations through the integration of asset management, task management, and real-time location information in ground handling.

This is a promotional flyer summarizing the case study of the outdoor location detection solution hoopo, which has been implemented by Nippon Express, a comprehensive logistics company responsible for various transportation services. In this case study, we introduce efforts to significantly improve the traditionally challenging issues of "real-time location tracking" and "time spent searching for empty chassis" in the management of chassis for land container transportation through an innovative system utilizing IoT. Hoopo combines a GPS tracker that operates for long periods without a power source with its unique load detection sensor technology, enabling real-time visualization of not only the chassis's location but also whether a container is loaded or empty. This has greatly reduced the time spent by on-site staff searching for empty chassis in the vast yard. Additionally, the asset management software iField, which was also implemented, allows for integrated management of data such as location information, vehicle numbers, inspection information, and operational records, improving overall chassis operational efficiency while preventing uneven usage frequency. This flyer clearly presents the specific background of the implementation and its effects.
