en.Wedoany.com Reported - Westwell is extending its "AI + New Energy" strategy to airport scenarios. The global AI company, dedicated to smart and green container logistics, currently serves over 200 customers across more than 30 economies, with operations covering air cargo, seaports, railways, road transport, and smart factories.

Westwell employs a dual AI architecture: Physical AI handles frontline autonomous execution, while Operational AI drives intelligent decision-making.

The company's Q-Tractor, designed for demanding airside environments, is equipped with the self-developed Q-Pilot autonomous driving platform, integrating BEV perception and Transformer-based end-to-end models. Its redundant safety architecture ensures 7x24 reliability in all weather and visibility conditions. Centimeter-level automatic trailer coupling and decoupling, validated in multiple airport deployments, fills the final gap in unmanned logistics, enabling autonomous loading and unloading. The vehicle is purely electric, achieving zero emissions in core operations.

At the operational AI level, the ReeWell intelligent operations management platform works in tandem with the WellFMS fleet management system to provide real-time scheduling, route optimization, and coordinated decision-making for flights, cargo, vehicles, and energy, aiming to maximize fleet efficiency and capacity utilization.

Westwell's solutions have been deployed at several major air cargo hubs, including Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited, Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Ezhou Huahu International Airport, and newly awarded 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 Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl), Hong Kong's largest independent air cargo handler. Westwell's Q-Tractor performs unmanned cargo transport operations at the terminal to enhance productivity and accelerate its smart green transformation. At Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Westwell is expanding AI applications into aviation safety operations. Beyond cargo transport, the company is developing an intelligent runway inspection solution combining "AI + Autonomous Driving + FOD Detection." This solution integrates autonomous vehicles, radar systems, and AI recognition algorithms to support flight safety operations.
