About The Customer
ETF Airways is a new air carrier based in Croatia. The company introduced its first two 189-seater Boeing 737-800 aircrafts to the public three months ago after receiving all necessary approvals and acceptance phases by the regulatory authorities in the European Union. ETF Airways' business is oriented towards charter flights and aircraft leasing arrangements, providing flights to other B2B airline companies. The company has plans to extend the number of aircrafts in the future and has recently signed a partnership agreement within Kosovo, from where the charter flights depart towards different destinations in Europe including Switzerland, Norway, Germany, Finland, France, and Italy.
The Challenge
ETF Airways, a new air carrier in Croatia, was looking to expand its services to other countries. However, the company faced challenges in improving its operations and communication methods. The primary goal was to find a way to keep pilots and cabin crews informed with manuals and trip sheets in real-time during operating hours. The employees were already using iPads for their daily operations, and the air carrier needed a secure and reliable solution that would enable them to stay connected online, regardless of their location worldwide. The challenge was to find a solution that could provide global connectivity and real-time information exchange, which was crucial for the airline's expansion plans.
The Solution
ETF Airways chose Infobip, a SIM-based cellular connectivity management platform (CMP), as its solution to keep pilots, cabin crews, and ground crews informed. Infobip's platform enables global connectivity across all Internet of Things (IoT) use cases, offering ETF Airways the benefit of automation and management potential through a central API and an easy-to-use user interface. The platform provides a host of functionalities, including lifecycle management, network maps, SIM views, automated ordering processes, anomaly and theft detection, data usage limits, and analytics and reporting. Infobip allows ETF Airways employees to be online, download content, and exchange flight and aircraft maintenance details in real time. The system keeps them informed with major relevant information without the need for printed documents. Flight crews have access to performance calculation tools, routes, and airport information via the Boeing application installed on their iPads. They also receive crucial updates about weather conditions at the departing airport, during the flight, and the destination area.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
