CHAMP LUNA app wins ULD prize at ONE Record Hackathon

A team from CHAMP Cargosystems won the Jettainer ULD challenge at the IATA ONE Record Hackathon with their LUNA app.

Teams were asked to build solutions to enhance cargo products using the ONE Record Data Sharing standard with the hosts asking them to address at least one challenge by using at least one API available at the event.

The CHAMP team, called United Lethal Developers, accepted the challenge to develop an AI-assisted serviceability check for ULDs.

They created the LUNA app, an AI-powered assistant for ULD damage assessment, improving accuracy and efficiency, paired with decentralised identity for secure, plug-and-play ONE Record authentication without shared credentials.

LUNA was declared the winner of the Jettainer ULD Challenge by a panel of six judges.

Chris McDermott, CEO of CHAMP Cargosystems, says, “The LUNA app is a testament to how quickly AI solutions can be implemented to deliver tangible benefits in real-world scenarios. LUNA demonstrates that AI can empower—not replace—field operators by making their work faster and more efficient.”

IATA’s ONE Record Hackathon is designed to promote ONE Record adoption through innovation, creativity and problem solving.

Henk Mulder, Head of Digital Cargo at IATA, says, “Collaboration between industry leaders and the developer community is essential for driving open-source advancements, and CHAMP’s involvement helps push the boundaries of what’s possible with ONE Record.”

Dr Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt, CEO of Jettainer, says, “The introduction of ONE Record opens up a world of new possibilities that we will use to add further value to our ULD management services. We are actively driving this development forward because we are absolutely convinced of its potential.”

The other awards went to the PLAC1 team for the One Record Prize, NE:ONE Simulate won the Open Logistics Foundation Prize, and PHP won the Riege developer Prize.
