Barriers at Gate 31 and 32 will now open automatically for vehicles that have a confirmed time slot with the FAIR@Link cargo system for loading and unloading with a freight forwarder at the airport.
When booking a slot, information is provided to the Click-2-drive number plate system and when a registered vehicle drives up to the barrier, it scans the number plate and checks the booking with FAIR@Link.
If the number plate is not recognised or the driver is not using the vehicle specified when booking a slot, they can scan a QR code received when registering to gain admission.
Dirk Gladiator, who heads DAKOSY’s FAIR@Link department says: “More than 700 companies are already regularly using FAIR@Link to book slots with the large handling agents at the site. With the upcoming integration of the last large forwarder, FCS Frankfurt Cargo Services GmbH, nearly 100% of delivery vehicles will be using the slot booking system. By networking both systems, we can save time while boosting efficiency.”
Max Philipp Conrady, VP for Cargo Development at Fraport says: “By networking both systems, we have succeeded in implementing a faster, leaner process for managing all delivery traffic. We intend to continue applying this approach going forward. The next step will be to integrate booking of truck parking spaces at CargoCity South into the system. The goal is for our customers to benefit from secure, freely flowing traffic.”
