FRANKFURT/HANOVER: With IT<br />
experts from Lufthansa Industry<br />
Solutions, Jettainer has begun testing<br />
digital air freight containers that can<br />
register & record shocks and damage<br />
as well as temperature changes.<br />
Jettainer, the leading international<br />
service partner for outsourced ULD<br />
management, said 100 units will be<br />
equipped with the new device for the<br />
test operation in order to intensively<br />
verify functionality and data quality.<br />
“The main objective is for the<br />
incoming sensory information to<br />
provide reliable information about<br />
weather and what kind of damage is<br />
present. This allows the following<br />
maintenance and repair processes to<br />
be better planned and accelerated,<br />
which will help to optimize the overall<br />
efficiency,” the company said in a<br />
statement.<br />
Carsten Hernig, Managing Director of<br />
Jettainer GmbH, said the project will<br />
“enable us to reduce the time and<br />
financial expenditure for repair<br />
measures.”<br />
“With our 90,000 units in use<br />
worldwide, this has enormous<br />
potential. At the same time, the new<br />
containers also increase our ability to<br />
identify the originators of the damage.<br />
And that helps us to motivate people<br />
to implement a more responsible<br />
handling of the ULDs,” said Hernig.
