A tool to improve capacity forecasting
With the recent renewal of its Skypallet contract with Wiremind, Westjet Cargo confirmed its the decision to take the digital collaboration further and explore capacity forecasting improvements. A proof of concept (POC) was initiated in April 2023 and will run for the next few months with a final enhancement expected in H2/2023.
Cargostack Optimiser, an artificial intelligence-driven capacity forecasting mechanism is already part of Wiremind’s optimisation solution.
Through a combination of advanced machine learning models and algorithms, Wiremind’s solution offers a more accurate estimate of the remaining cargo capacity for sale, after factoring in non-cargo items such as passenger baggage, fuel, and other capacity consuming items.
The software can provide this capacity estimate in payload, volume and positional terms depending on the profile of the flight or the aircraft type operated. (cj)
