In the final evaluation by the CELTIC-NEXT EUREKA CLUSTER, the project was awarded the top rating of “Excellent”. The BERNARD Gruppe was part of the consortium funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) in the EU-wide 6G-SKY research project and, with its engineering expertise, made a significant contribution to its successful implementation.

The focus was on the question of how unmanned flying objects can communicate safely and efficiently in the future – especially in urban areas. Together with its project partners, the BERNARD Gruppe developed a system for monitoring logistics areas. With the help of autonomous swarms of drones and optical sensors, containers on the site are automatically recorded and visualized in a digital twin. The data obtained in this way enables a continuous assessment of the current situation and targeted control of logistics processes. The aim is to create a digital infrastructure that supports energy-efficient planning and transparent processes, and that reduces administrative costs. For the BERNARD Gruppe, the focus is always on practical benefits. The solutions developed are based on real logistics requirements and were applied directly in the environment of a logistics center. With the combination of object detection, data processing and AI-supported evaluation, a technology platform was created that can also be used in a variety of ways beyond the project. 6G-SKY is an example of how engineering know-how from Austria is helping to shape European technologies of the future – with the BERNARD Gruppe as a reliable partner for innovation and implementation.
