HONG KONG, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As global air cargo hubs confront rising
e-commerce demand, labour shortages, and decarbonisation targets, Westwell—a global
AI company advancing smart and green container logistics—is applying its** "AI +
New Energy (Ainergy)"** strategy to airport operations. Serving over 200 customers
across 30+ economies, Westwell now brings its AI-Native capabilities to air cargo,
seaport, rail, land transport, and smart factories.

At the core is a **dual-AI architecture**: **Physical AI** enables frontline autonomous
execution, while **Operational AI** drives intelligent decision-making.

Designed for demanding airside conditions, Westwell’s** Q-Tractor** is powered by
the self-developed Q-Pilot autonomous driving platform, integrating BEV perception
and Transformer-based end-to-end models. Redundant safety architectures ensure 24/
7 reliability in all weather and visibility conditions. Centimetre-level automatic
trailer coupling and uncoupling—validated across multiple airport deployments—closes
the last gap in unmanned logistics, enabling autonomous cargo loading and unloading.
Powered by pure electric drive, the Q-Tractor achieves zero emissions in core operations.

On the Operational AI layer, the **ReeWell** intelligent operations management platform,
together with the WellFMS fleet management system, provides real-time dispatching,
route optimisation, and coordinated decision-making across flights, cargo, vehicles,
and energy resources—maximising fleet efficiency and capacity utilisation.

Westwell’s solutions are being deployed at key air cargo hubs including Hong Kong
International Airport, Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl), Shanghai Pudong
International Airport, Ezhou Huahu International Airport, and newly secured projects
at Fuzhou Changle International Airport and Xiamen Xiang’an International Airport.

In 2025, Westwell officially received approval to deploy new energy autonomous tractors
at **Hactl** – the largest independent air cargo handler in Hong Kong. Westwell’s
Q-Tractors power unmanned cargo transportation operations at the terminal, enhancing
productivity while accelerating Hactl’s smart and green transformation.

At **Shanghai Pudong International Airport**, Westwell is expanding AI applications
into airport safety operations beyond cargo transportation – the company is developing
an industry-leading "AI + Autonomous Driving + FOD Detection" intelligent runway
inspection solution, combining autonomous vehicles, radar systems and AI recognition
algorithms to support the safe operation of flights.

As airports continue balancing efficiency, resilience and sustainability targets,
AI-Native operational systems are expected to play an increasingly strategic role
in air cargo infrastructure development. For Westwell, the future of airport logistics
lies not simply in automation, but in building collaborative ecosystems where people,
intelligent vehicles and AI systems work together more safely, efficiently and sustainably.
