Unilode and OnAsset take ULD tracking to the next level

Unilode Aviation Solutions and OnAsset Intelligence have upgraded their network, enhancing tracking to provide the world’s first airborne IoT network.

Unilode has the world’s largest network of digitally enabled ULD fleet built upon a network of OnAsset’s SENTRY IoT gateways installed at airports, repair stations, freight forwarder warehouses and trucks, and now to the aircraft itself.

Adam Crossno, CEO of OnAsset Intelligence, says that extending real-time visibility to the aircraft is a game changer, providing location, status and chain-of-custody visibility across the supply chain.

He says, “This is an evolution two decades in the making. The key to digital enablement is a great network, and that is what we’ve built in partnership with Unilode. This network supports digitised ULDs, intelligent warehouses, piece-level cargo tracking, ground support equipment tracking and 3rd party devices via our Managed Interoperability™ offering.”

OnAsset’s SENTRY 600 FlightSafe product is being rolled out, which features Bluetooth, cellular, Wi-Fi and LoRa connectivity, combined with GPS, a full sensor suite and an e-paper screen and keypad.

Ross Marino, CEO of Unilode Aviation Solutions, says, “We are excited to upgrade Unilode’s ULD reader network to the new SENTRY 600 gateway which will allow us to enhance our global network reach and reliability, and enable us and our customers to reap all benefits of our digital solutions in the years to come.”
