Executive Summary:
The SkyTech Framework is the first viable and cost effective intermodal transport solution to emerge in decades. SkyTech’s linear motor induction (LIM) framework and its proprietary electromagnetic coil technology allow automated containers moves from point to point in a manner that is faster, safer and cheaper than any intermodal method in operation today.
Vision:
SkyTech intends to leverage its unique technology, the dramatic marketplace need and its management team’s exceptional track record in order to deploy highly customer-focused LIM solutions to key intermodal facilities across the U.S. and internationally. SkyTech’s LIM technology is the only method to couple an effective solution to crisis-level container congestion with any kind of a return on investment.
Success Formula:
The management team combines the experience of a rail / motor domain expert who founded and led the highly successful Laser Express, with a renowned logistics optimization expert who was the architect behind multi-million dollar logistics projects for FedEx, NASA / JPL, USAF and others, with a magnetic levitation pioneer who founded PRT Maglev Systems, which is the principal NASA contractor for the next-generation shuttle LIM launch system and Navy Carrier catapults.
