Meet WINGS

WINGS ICT Solutions is a Greek deep-tech SME specialized in the development and delivery of digital solutions for vertical sectors such as transport, logistics, energy, health, and environment. The company leverages advanced IoT devices, AI/ML-powered analytics, advanced networks (5G and beyond) and cloud/edge infrastructures to deliver commercially proven platforms that address real market needs. Its portfolio includes advanced products such as wi.MOVE (transport and logistics optimization), wi.SUPPLY (supply chain management), and wi.BREATHE (air quality monitoring). With a team of engineers and solution architects, WINGS combines cutting-edge technology with strong business orientation to provide impactful market solutions that improve efficiency, sustainability, and safety.

Can you provide an overview of your role and involvement in the DELPHI project?

WINGS is the Technical Manager of DELPHI, the Athens pilot technical leader, as well as Leader of the whole WP5 (Pilots and Demonstrations). WINGS also leads the Platform Federation Reference Architecture Design (Task 3.5), as well as the Integrated Multi-Modal Management Framework and Technology-Agnostic Services (Task 4.5).

In the Athens pilot, WINGS leads the overall technical activities, with a central focus on structural health monitoring of critical infrastructure such as bridges, road segments, and tunnels leveraging AI/ML and advanced optimisation methods. By combining sensor data and computer vision, our solutions detect potential disruptions (e.g., road surface collapse, landslides, flooding) and immediately assess their impact on traffic flow. Building on this foundation, we integrate congestion detection and propagation forecasting, providing early warnings and actionable guidance to drivers and freight forwarders on the Attiki Odos highway. Leveraging also data from STASY – the Athens Urban Railway system), this includes dynamic recommendations for optimal exits, detours, or multimodal alternatives, such as offloading freight to metro hubs. Furthermore, WINGS develops dynamic vehicle routing applications that integrate real-world data and support multi-criteria optimization (time, cost, distance, emissions), enabling more efficient, resilient, and sustainable logistics operations.

What are some challenges you encounter as part of your work with the DELPHI project?

One of the main challenges lies in timely detecting potentially hazardous infrastructure issues, correlating them with the traffic flows of passengers and goods, as well as eventually integrating passenger and freight transport optimization under real-world constraints such as delivery deadlines, vehicle capacities, and detour flexibility. Another is managing data heterogeneity—from infrastructure sensors to on-board units and environmental data—which requires advanced analytics, causal reasoning, and interoperable architectures. Beyond the technical dimension, an equally important challenge is ensuring that the predictive optimization tools are practical, intuitive, and directly usable by logistics operators and infrastructure managers.

What is your future perspective in relation to the DELPHI topic?

We see predictive optimization and multimodal traffic management as cornerstones of the future of logistics and smart mobility. With the evolution of 5G and 6G networks, the fusion of real-time sensing, edge/cloud orchestration, and digital twin technologies will create even more responsive and resilient transport systems. WINGS will continue to evolve platforms like wi.MOVE to serve real market demands, enabling logistics operators, infrastructure owners, and cities to achieve their decarbonization, efficiency, and competitiveness goals.

Anything else you would like to mention or highlight?

As technical manager and pilot leader, WINGS values the collaborative nature of DELPHI. Working closely with logistics operators, infrastructure providers, and research partners allows us to validate advanced concepts—such as multimodal optimization and predictive congestion management—in realistic settings. This cooperation is essential to ensure that the outcomes are not only innovative but also market-ready and impactful.
