Jettainer hosted the first ULD challenge at this year’s IATA Hackathon in Dublin, where over two days—February 24 and 25—approximately 100 developers from 9 global teams explored how IATA’s ONE Record standard could enhance supply chain efficiency. The challenge aimed to develop an AI-assisted serviceability check for ULDs, and the winning solution came from the CHAMP Cargosystems team. Jettainer CEO Dr. Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt presented the team with the $3,000 award for their innovative approach.
With Luna the team developed an AI powered assistant for serviceability checks of any type of ULD using voice, text, and pictures. The solution meets the need for fast, precise and fully automated ULD assessment by leveraging the power of the ONE Record API.
“The competition of ideas and creative solutions here in Dublin was absolutely first class. There were numerous good and innovative approaches, but the Champ Cargosystems team narrowly came out on top and deserved it well. Their approach is very promising,” emphasized Dr. Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt when presenting the award. “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 winners were selected by a jury of well-experienced experts from the industry who evaluated the results according to the criteria originality and innovation, technical merit & difficulty, impact and presentation skills. The other awards went to the PLAC1 team (One Record Prize), NE:ONE Simulate (Open Logistics Foundation Prize) and PHP (Riege developer Prize).
“The ONE Record Hackathons are always a source of inspiration with many innovative approaches that are worth pursuing. It is truly exciting and I can’t wait to see these ideas implemented in the near future,” draws Henk Mulder, Head of Digital Cargo at IATA, as a positive conclusion.

CHAMP Cargosystems has announced that a team of its professionals emerged victorious at this year’s IATA ONE Record Hackathon. The team, named United Lethal Developers (ULDs), won the Jettainer ULD challenge with their innovative LUNA app.
All teams were asked to build solutions to enhance cargo products using the ONE Record Data Sharing standard by multimodal means. The hosts asked the teams to address at least one of the related challenges by using at least one of the APIs available at the event.
CHAMP Cargosystems’ team accepted the Jettainer ULD Challenge which entailed creating an AI-assisted serviceability check for Unit Load Devices (ULDs). They created the LUNA app, an AI-powered assistant for ULD damage assessment, improving accuracy and efficiency, paired with decentralized identity for secure, plug-and-play ONE Record authentication without shared credentials.
After deliberating, a panel of six judges determined United Lethal Developers (ULDs) and their LUNA app to be the winners of the Jettainer ULD Challenge.
“We are incredibly proud of our CHAMP team’s hard work, innovation, and brilliant execution demonstrated in this year’s IATA ONE Record Hackathon,” says Chris McDermott, CEO at CHAMP Cargosystems. “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.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to all those who participated in the Hackathon, from the other entrants to the facilitators who worked round the clock to make this year’s event one to remember.”

Nine teams participated in the event, which included around-the-clock coding sessions to drive projects to completion on the final day. IATA’s ONE Record Hackathon is an important initiative designed to promote ONE Record adoption through innovation, creativity, and problem solving.
Henk Mulder, Head, Digital Cargo at IATA, said “We were excited to have CHAMP join us in Dublin for our ONE Record Hackathon. Their expertise in air cargo technology and digital innovation is invaluable in shaping the future of data exchange in our industry. 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.”
