Lufthansa Cargo in digital research project
Lufthansa Cargo has joined the "digital test field air cargo" initiative, a new federal research project commissioned by Germany's ministry of transport and coordinated by the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics.
The aim is to increase the efficiency, performance and competitiveness of air cargo in Germany by improving the networking of all the players involved and digitising processes, including pre-carriage and onward carriage.
Within the project, Lufthansa Cargo is focusing on intensified data exchange between all partners in the transport chain, even beyond the roles that have been typical in the transport process to date. This data exchange is the basis for all data-driven optimisations and AI-based applications. (ah)
