The system helps the operator define the loading procedure for cargo transported on the A400M. The system features distance sensors, around twenty scales, and load sensors on the winch. A card placed on the cargo provides distance readings relative to the ground, ceiling, and edges of the aircraft. An audible and visual alarm is triggered if the measured values ​​are dangerous (too close) to the edges of the aircraft, or if the weight exceeds the permissible thresholds. Similarly, if the load on the winch exceeds a certain predefined value, the alarm is also activated. Using the latest STM microcontrollers (the F7). The values ​​to be monitored are recorded 100 times per second and transmitted via Wi-Fi to the fixed monitoring rack. The values ​​are then transmitted to the PC for display and storage.
