Highlighting the kinds of technologies required navigating through this pandemic, Amar More, CEO, Kale Logistics Solutions, said, “Going back to pre-COVID and post-COVID, to understand that how can the industry be safer and more efficient, we have to understand the behaviour of the virus. This virus spreads through paper and social interaction.”
He added that one has to consider the following facts.
• The virus stays on paper for three to four days, thus, we have a war on paper. We have to strongly consider how we can eliminate paper in today’s age when electronic data can be moved. Hence, first we have to ponder on any technology that eliminates paper.
• Secondly, the virus can be stopped with social distancing so anything that causes congestion is damaging. Our air cargo complexes, around peak time, are crowded with many people at the terminal, at the documentation counter or queue of trucks; that also doesn’t help social distancing. So, technologies that can reduce congestion are very important.
