Vueling and Barcelona Supercomputing Center have signed a collaboration agreement to boost the integration of innovative solutions based on supercomputing, artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing in the aviation sector. This agreement positions Vueling at the forefront of digital and technological transformation, allowing you to face operational challenges and improve your clients’ experience.
This collaboration will allow both entities to work together in the identification of key technological challenges and in the development of innovative solutions that not only optimize planning and operational management, but also applicable to the aviation industry in general. With a strategic approach, Vueling can anticipate challenges such as air traffic management or customization of its services, consolidating its position as a reference in the digitalization of air transport.
“The agreement with the BSC represents a decisive step in our innovation and digital transformation strategy. Working hand in hand with a reference in supercomputing and disruptive technologies reinforces our commitment to adopt avant -garde solutions that enhance our operational efficiency and continue to improve the experience of our clients ”Javier Álvarez, IT director, points out.
Avant -garde technology for more precise operational planning
Thanks to this agreement, Vueling with the advice of BSC has been able to initiate a job to obtain specific data on weather conditions in the airspace around the Barcelona-the Prat airport, such as storms, strong winds or even the calima, which is in operation since the end of last year. The objective is to further improve the accuracy of the data and its application in the company’s operational planning, which will allow optimizing flight routes and providing more detailed information to passengers about the weather conditions that can affect their trip, as well as anticipating potential eventualities.
One of the first projects in this collaboration is the incorporation of high precision weather data to optimize operational planning during flight plans
Thanks to the agreement between Vueling and the BSC, the implementation of internally developed language models will also be studied to optimize processes and customer experience. In addition, initiatives related to the use of algorithms based on quantum computing to evaluate their performance compared to traditional digital computing, as well as deepen data analysis to achieve a data to achieve a hyperpersonalization Applied to customer experience, anticipating precisely to their needs.
The agreement between Vueling and the BSC is part of the BSC Connects program, an initiative of the center to accelerate public-private collaboration in the field of AI and supercomputing. This program allows companies to access BSC’s knowledge and technology, their training programs and apply the computational capacity of the Marenostrum 5 supercomputer to promote the development of innovative solutions that respond to their business challenges.
For its part, Mariona Sanz, responsible for innovation and business development of Barcelona Supercomputing Center points out: “We want to bring companies like BSC’s knowledge and technology closer to companies, helping them transform their businesses with innovative solutions and anticipate the technological challenges of the future. In this way, we reinforce our commitment to the transfer of knowledge and the development of advanced technologies, facilitating the access of supercomputing as a key engine for industrial and scientific progress”
