Kale and WFS reduce truck waiting times at JFK

Kale Info Solutions has finished a pilot test with Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) reducing truck waiting times by up to 66% at New York’s John F. Kennedy airport.

The Artificial Intelligence-based module, part of Kale’s Airport Cargo Community System (ACS), reduced waiting times by up to 66% for exports and 48% for imports.

The system addresses the causes of congestion such as bunching of truck traffic, lack of information for operational planning to handlers, paperwork at the airport, and visibility of airport operations to stakeholders.

The pilot included integration of Kale’s ACS truck and slot management module with WFS’s warehouse management system, ePIC to digitally transform import and export processes.

Amar More, CEO of Kale Logistics Solutions says: “We have helped several airport and port communities across the world in overcoming such challenges and are excited to work with WFS and the JFK cargo community in changing the way cargo is picked up and delivered in New York forever through this initiative.”

Rinzing Wangyal, Vice President of Worldwide Flight Services adds: “Looking at the benefits delivered by the pilot phase and encouraging feedback from the cargo community, we will soon be rolling this out across all our facilities in JFK and other stations in North America.”
