AirBridgeCargo to Enhance Service with TPEDs from Unilode

AirBridgeCargo Airlines and Unilode Aviation Solutions, a provider of outsourced Unit Load Device (ULD) management and repair solutions, have extended their ULD management partnership for the extensive usage of Transmitting Portable Electronic Devices (TPEDs) for ULDs – pallets and containers.

The equipment, which is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE v.5.0) tracking and sensing device, will be mounted to ULDs supplied and managed by Unilode and carried in the cargo compartments of AirBridgeCargo’s Boeing 747 freighter fleet.

The monitoring devices will be used to track ULDs, register all environmental parameters, covering such crucial factors as temperature, humidity, illumination and shock actions to guarantee 100% transparency of shipment data. In addition, AirBridgeCargo will get accurate information from Unilode about the cargo status and its location, be it in the air or on the ground (warehouse, apron).

Sergey Lazarev, General Director, AirBridgeCargo Airlines, said, “We are delighted to see our partnership with Unilode progressing and embracing new areas, such as IoT, which will not only facilitate data accuracy but also enhance digital customer experience with the provision of detailed information for each and every shipment. This is especially important for special cargo – pharmaceutical products, oversize and heavy goods, live animals, etc. With the penetration of digitalization taking place in the air cargo sector, we want to make sure that our customers get the full benefit of it, be it general cargo, abc pharma, abc XL or other specialist dedicated services.”
