Our story
ePiece Ltd was founded early 2017. Building on the decades of work and experience in aviation logistics and industrial automation, we saw the future potential of applying the concept of piece-level handling in air cargo & baggage logistics by utilization of existing 3rd-party technologies and approaches as the basis of our own design guidelines.
More importantly, we clearly foresaw that due to the special characteristics of the air cargo and baggage handling industry, advanced solutions such as smart robotics, high-level logistics automation, and identification and verification systems ensuring the required reliability and accuracy needed in any piece-level operating automated handling process cannot be introduced without thorough preparation . Instead, a specific handling automation concept and approach is needed that contains all the phases and aspects required in the smooth and safe development process.
Thus, the ePiece Road map with its four key service components: Consultancy, Project Control, Implementation, and Change Management.
Our initial market research for the piece-level automation approach resulted in several potential high-profile projects for various baggage and cargo operations around the world. The first on-site customer studies reinforced our interpretation of the market need. After a series of discussions with seasoned veterans and consultants in both domains it was clear to the founders of ePiece Ltd that the time is right for collecting and combining the knowledge and experience required, resulting in the specification of an offering that meets the rising demand on piece-level handling automation. And, which forms the platform for advanced automation.
The founders of ePiece Ltd bring truly diversified backgrounds together. From industrial automation software technology, robotics, telecom, oil & gas, academia, aviation facility development and financing to cargo and baggage operations and management.
Together, they ensure a new perspective on the possibilities of enabling cost-efficient, state-of-the-art solutions where it is keenly needed.
