ATL offers a groundbreaking technology that automates your last-mile logistics processes. Trolleys are transported through a built-in network of rails on the floor of your kitchen facility and your highloader trucks. Time needed to load your highloaders at the ramp and unload them into the aircraft is reduced by up to 80%. The increased efficiency enables you to run your processes with less trucks/highloaders and less personnel. You can determine the sequence in which trolleys are delivered to the aircraft – less errors and no time wasted for searching! The system’s modules will be installed in your existing equipment, are virtually maintenance free and immediately enable a quicker turnaround.
A small team of former Airline catering executives and experienced and innovative engineers has teamed up to bring a step change to last-mile logistics in the airline catering industry. We follow the vision of introducing high quality equipment to a process that has seen little innovation in the past 50 years through an automation feature that will be individually adapted specifically for your needs.
This short visualization is intended to give you a flavor for the simplicity of the process when utilizing the ATL System. We have highlighted the automated core process of your future operation, loading an aircraft.
An automated and modular system that will be adapted to the individual set-up of each and every airline catering operation will massively increase your efficiency and help you to reduce costs! Our system helps you to automate large parts of your last-mile logistics process: Modules that will be installed into your trucks/highloaders and on your loading docks make the entire process quicker, more cost-efficient and less prone to errors.
The ATL System is combining individual components that are designed to run maintenance free. The modular assembly enables each of those components to do their job without interference.
Once connected to the aircraft or facility the ATL System will start to automatically deliver and assume trolleys and returns. We have foreseen different process features to seamlessly integrate into your today’s process – the interface is a simple touchscreen device that enables you to interfere and adapt the process to what is required.
The ATL System is designed to last for a lifetime. In the unlikely case individual components need replacement, the modularity enables to quickly exchange the part without touching the integrity of the system as a whole.
The ATL System’s IT interface is designed to communicate with your software regardless of the make, type or adaptation. It will seamlessly integrate into your data processes and will give you a full control over your last mile.
Since the system is designed modularly it can be adapted to specific needs. The basic functionality - intelligently handling airline trolleys - remains integrated across all application. The integration of different applications will increasingly enhance the speed and process benefits of your operation.
Our team consists of individuals passionate about making it work for YOU. Every Team member has a profound background in aviation & catering, state of the art logistics & supply chain management as well as technical and process expertise.

Below is a quick simulation on what the the benefits of using ATL-Systems could look like for you. This high level simulation is intended to give you a flavor of what typically is achievable financially – simplified simulating an on-airport catering service operation If you wish to run an individual financial simulation for one or more stations, please insert the parameters in the three fields below. The number of flights per day should reflect the total number of flights handled by the individual station, the hours of operation are the hours per day in that specific station and the driver cost per hour should roughly reflect the hourly wage of a driver per hour in EUR. Please keep in mind that the financial results will also be reflected in EUR - if you want us to convert the results into other currencies, please contact us - we will be happy to assist.

The simulation is ran on the basis of a mix between short, mid and long haul flights served by the station. The average capacity by high loader truck is increased through the ATL System just as the loading times per aircraft are reduced through automation. In summary, the system helps to generate significant savings in time per turnaround and consequently reduces the number of trucks and drivers needed for operation. We recommend to jointly run a detailed simulation – serving as business case – to fully represent the specifics for each station.
The ATL System is designed as individual modules with the dimensions of a full size trolley. Each module is pre-assembled and can be installed in your equipment easily. Each component is specifically designed to be a simple plug and play set up enabling a quick installation or replacement if ever needed.
