Air France KLM Martinair Cargo has selected SkyCell as its preferred unit load device (ULD) tracking partner.

SkyCell will deploy its solutions across the airline’s entire ULD fleet, providing real-time visibility into its ULD operations on the SkyMind platform and driving operational and cost efficiencies.

Using SkyMind, Air France KLM Martinair Cargo will have complete control over ULD operations, eliminating manual processes for tracking and tracing ULDs, leading to time and cost savings and boosting operational efficiency.

SkyMind’s technology includes advanced readers and tags to provide real-time visibility into ULD fleets.

Adriaan den Heijer, EVP of Air France KLM Cargo and Managing Director of Martinair, says, “Implementing state-of-the-art tracking devices to locate our ULDs will not only enable us to track our assets but will also significantly enhance our operational quality. Real-time ULD tracking will enable us to address the issue of ULD losses, whether by ground handling partners or our valued customers, and will ensure seamless movement of cargo.”

Nico Ros, CTO and co-founder of SkyCell, adds, “The partnership marks a major transformation in the airline industry towards automation, with a strong focus on efficient ULD management, streamlined dispositioning and improved asset utilisation.”
