Gernot Pöchgraber will start optimising security checks at airports in 2016 as part of a feasibility study. Initially as head of the research group for process innovation at the Vienna University of Technology and subsequently, as an entrepreneur in the field of technology and innovation management, he continued to pursue the SECTRO concept of the security checkpoint of the future together with Hörmann Klatt Conveyors and the Vienna University of Technology. Since the BEUMER GROUP joined the project, nothing has stood in the way of its realisation and Gernot is responsible for SECTRO’s business development.
