Next generation emergency lighting power system to be exhibited at major Hong Kong Air Show

With aviation costs increasing across the board, a next generation emergency lighting innovation unveiled by STG Aerospace could reduce costs for the industry by over US$1billion each year. The revolutionary power supply for cabin emergency lighting systems will be demonstrated by STG Aerospace at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hong Kong between 4th and 6th September 2007.

The Wireless Emergency Primary Power System (WEPPS) from STG Aerospace is a radically new application of current technologies for managing and powering emergency lighting systems, with a built-in wireless monitoring and diagnostic capability. It gives airlines:

A 'fit for life' solution for battery modules, that need no charging and no scheduled maintenance – ever!

A means of performing daily checks on the whole emergency lighting system in under 10 seconds

WEPPS reduces costs by eliminating the emergency lighting system's entire maintenance schedule. WEPPS comprises a series of 'fit-for-life' non-rechargeable battery modules that replace conventional NiCad battery/charger packs. As a result, there is no need to maintain the batteries on a regular basis and their lifespan is extended years beyond that of conventional batteries.

WEPPS also incorporates sophisticated wireless status monitoring that allows interrogation of the battery modules, control circuitry and the lighting systems attached to each battery, and transmits this data wirelessly to a diagnostic panel conveniently situated near the cockpit. This allows cabin crew to test the entire emergency lighting system in less than 10 seconds, saving time and removing the risk of human error in the process.

Please visit stand 11D19 at the Aircraft Interiors Asia Expo in conjunction with Asian Aerospace, Hong Kong for a free demonstration of WEPPS.
