For a ground handler at Singapore Changi Airport, Hermes Logistics Technologies (HLT) has incorporated tech partner SPEEDCARGO’s solutions into its Cargo Management System (CMS).
At the point of cargo acceptance, the integration between SPEEDCARGO’s CARGO EYE technology and HLT’s New Generation (NG) Ecosystem will make improved digital information about actual cargo accessible within the Hermes CMS.
Real-time data capture at the door increased accuracy due to the elimination of human data entry, and labor cost savings as a result of the digital capture, transport, and processing of cargo are some of the key advantages of this.
According to Yuval Baruch, CEO of HLT, “With this partnership, the ground handlers have two best-of-breed technologies enabling them to reap the full benefits of digitalization, including 100% coverage, processing speed, error prevention, and savings on costly labour.”
The Hermes cargo management system combines the volumetric data that CARGO EYE gathers in real-time, along with photographs and all dimensions of arriving shipments, to simplify cargo build-up.
The improved workflow enables the ground handler to deliver digital acceptance certifications of the cargo received as well as digitally capture actual freight received at the piece level.
It also makes it simple to identify cargo again during processing, and shippers, freight handlers, and airlines can all access this data instantly.
The integration of SPEEDCARGO’s solutions with Hermes’ CMS will simplify deployment integration for customers of Hermes and SPEEDCARGO, according to Krishna Kumar, CEO of SPEEDCARGO. This will result in a more digitalized environment that combines information from the physical world with digitized documentation. This will enable them to realize value through increased sales and enhanced business operations.
Phase two of the Hermes and SPEEDCARGO integration project is anticipated, and it will allow the CARGO MIND system to collaborate with the Hermes CMS to further optimize cargo build-up. With the use of the high-tech software programme CARGO MIND, airlines may carry up to 10% extra cargo on each flight by using complex algorithms to arrange the best use of their cargo capacity. We believe that by working together like this between tech businesses, exchanging data and utilizing data, we can finally take advantage of real AI and provide real value to the air freight market, added Baruch.
