SAS Cargo, Scandinavia's leading carrier, and Unilode Aviation Solutions, the leading global provider of outsourced Unit Load Device (ULD) management and repair solutions, will further deepen their collaboration with Unilode digitising SAS Cargo's container fleet starting Q2 2019. This agreement forms part of Unilode's digital transformation programme, which is based on BLE5 technology and a global reader infrastructure, and enables ULD tracking and the measurement of temperature, humidity, light and shock in air freight shipments, among other benefits.
This development is another major milestone in a long-standing collaboration, which started in 2011 with the conversion of SAS Cargo's ULD fleet to lightweight containers, and enables SAS Cargo to take the next step in fulfilling its digital ambitions.
Mr. BenoƮt Dumont, Unilode CEO, said: "The aviation industry is embracing digitalisation in the supply chain to optimise operations, enhance visibility and give more insights to the customers. We are pleased that we can accelerate SAS Cargo's digital ambitions with the digitalisation of the ULD operations, which we have been managing for eight years. We are proud to serve SAS Cargo as a trusted and strategic partner and we continue to work hard to provide SAS Cargo and all our customers with state-of-the-art ULD solutions, which contribute to an integrated, innovative and digital supply chain in the aviation industry."
