Air cargo automation system for ULD palletising
Speedcargo, a tech start-up that offers A.I. and robotics solutions for air cargo, and Güdel, a manufacturer of high-precision machine components and provider of sophisticated automation solutions, have jointly developed the world’s first fully automated robotic freight handling solution for air freight.
The new robotic system is expected to change the way air freight ground handlers store and move cargo at airports around the world. It can handle cargo of a variety of sizes and weights, even odd-shaped cargo and is designed to improve three key ground handling operations:
Firstly, the system improves cargo acceptance by creating express automated lanes with a seamless integrated process for weight, dimension and x-ray checks. Secondly, it allows for an automated buffer for storage and retrieval and thirdly, the system automates ULD build-up. (cj)
