INDRA

What is your organization’s core expertise, and what unique knowledge, technology, or capabilities do you bring to CustomAI?

INDRA is a global leader in Defence, Aerospace, and Advanced Digital Technologies, with a strong footprint in security, air traffic management, and digital transformation. Our expertise spans end-to-end security solutions, from strategic consulting and technology development to manufacturing and integration of critical systems. We bring to CustomAI a unique combination of AI-driven risk analysis, decision-support systems, and user-centric interface design, backed by decades of experience in complex operational environments. Our proven track record in international security programs and R&D leadership—being Europe’s second-largest investor in defense-related innovation—positions us to deliver cutting-edge solutions that redefine customs operations.

What is your specific role in the project and what is the single most exciting outcome you hope to achieve with the tools developed in CustomAI?

INDRA plays a pivotal role in embedding AI-enhanced predictive analytics into customs platforms, such as Spain’s Custos system, to automate container selection for inspection. We contribute to:

  • Risk-based decision support systems 
  • Integration of AI dashboards for customs officers
  • Pilot implementation and validation at the Port of Valencia
  • Alignment of hardware technologies with vapour detection and scanning systems

The most exciting outcome? Transforming customs control into a smarter, faster, and more accurate process—reducing false positives and enabling authorities to focus resources where they matter most. By integrating AI into real-world workflows, we aim to set a new benchmark for efficiency and security in international trade.

If you had to summarize your organization’s enthusiasm for this project in one sentence, what would it be?

“CustomAI is a game-changer, and INDRA is proud to lead the charge in bringing AI-powered intelligence to the frontlines of customs control for a safer, more efficient global trade ecosystem.”
