‘Lack of transparency, visibility & infra crucial concerns’

Freight forwarders and ground handlers face pain points like limited transparency, lack of visibility and infra within the air cargo ecosystem, says Sanjay Gupta, Chief Executive Officer, AISATS. These pain points not only create operational inefficiencies but also increase the overall cost of logistics, he adds saying, “AISATS’s upcoming multimodal cargo hub (MMCH) infra and cutting-edge technologies work to bring greater transparency and visibility to even the most complex cargo processes through digital documentation, real-time cargo tracking and predictive analytics for cargo delivery times.” Traditional air cargo gateways also tend to experience infrastructure bottlenecks and capacity challenges due to warehousing and logistics constraints. Our integrated approach allows us to leverage efficient design layouts and advanced technologies to alleviate these bottlenecks and optimize cargo flows, he further adds. “Technologies such as COSYS+, automated material handling systems, autonomous vehicles (for direct connectivity between the ICT and IWLZ), RFID trackers, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning allow for a higher cargo throughput across less space with lower dwell times at the AISATS MMCH. Our Single Window Airport Cargo Community and Trucking Center will reduce these bottlenecks even further. We know how to process cargo through a multi-modal cargo hub with a deft combination of cutting-edge infrastructure, digital processes and timely data sharing, and this expertise allows us to overcome the usual bottlenecks to efficiently provide multi-modal just-in-time cargo facilities, with seamless connectivity and integration at reduced costs.”
