Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics division of Etihad
Airways, has further automated air cargo processes using Descartes’
next generation Internet of Things (IoT) Bluetooth® Low Energy
solution integrated with Jettainer’s unit load device (ULD)
management services. The combined solutions expand Etihad Cargo’s
ability to improve ground processes at cargo and ULD handling and
to gain data-driven insights into the transport and ambient
conditions of air cargo in transit.
“At Etihad Cargo, we’re continuing to invest in technology and
innovation to make air cargo handling more efficient, smarter and
faster, and this includes the usage and management of our ULD
fleet,” said Thomas Schürmann, Head of Cargo Operations &
Delivery at Etihad Cargo. “The addition of Descartes’ next
generation IoT devices to our ULD fleet provides true operational
value for us. Etihad Cargo expects to reduce the number of lost
ULDs—those that lose their trail somewhere at the airport, at the
ground handling agent or the forwarder—by being able to tell
exactly where they were last seen. We furthermore expect to
simplify ground processes, for example, by reducing the time and
effort spent on stock take.”
“As part of our premium product, ULD Select, the combination of
our sophisticated ULD management solution with Descartes’ next
generation IoT devices can be a powerful boost to our service. The
technology can provide our valued customers like Etihad Cargo
insights into the conditions of their freight, give access to
detailed location information, facilitate ULD processing on the
ground, and thus further improve asset utilization,” said Ram
Krishnaswamy, General Manager Middle East, Africa, & Indian
Subcontinent at Jettainer. “Jettainer embraces innovation and
digitalization, and this is exactly what we experience with
Descartes as the leading technical provider in the field of
Bluetooth® Low Energy tracking solutions. Potential benefits are
not limited to ULD processing; we also see value in streamlining
export, transit and import cargo processes and will explore this
further with our customers and partners.”
Descartes’ next generation IoT Bluetooth® Low Energy ULD
tracking uses Bluetooth® tags affixed to containers or pallets,
mobile applications and mesh networks to automate end-to-end
tracking of assets. Bluetooth® tags affixed to ULDs prior to
loading enable easy access to real-time location information,
shipment-level condition data, such as temperature, light, humidity
and movement, and chain of custody detail that indicates whose
custody assets are in at any given time. Tags can also be added to
any ground service equipment, like dollies, for full control over a
carrier’s equipment.
“We’re pleased to help Etihad Cargo optimize the use of its ULD
fleet with richer visibility at both the asset and shipment level,”
said Scott Sangster, General Manager, Logistics Service Providers
at Descartes. “ULDs are the backbone of the air cargo supply chain
and, with coverage in over 1,300 reader locations and 200 airports
worldwide, Descartes’ innovations in IoT-based tracking and
advanced network capabilities are helping airlines access the
status of their ULDs anytime, anywhere—through any internet-enabled
device.”
