dnata has launched a new just-in-time freight handling platform across its Dubai operations. A cloud-based platform, Appointment and Dock Management (ADM) ensures improved planning, efficient processing and end-to-end transparency of the entire cargo journey. The innovative solution is provided by Siemens Logistics and its wholly owned subsidiary Siemens Digital Logistics.
ADM enables freight forwarders to book an appointment with the cargo terminal to deliver and pick up consignments. The system handles multiple parameters, such as shipment characteristics, flight details, vehicle types, and other relevant factors to determine the optimal slot for delivery or acceptance of goods. A unique feature of the digital platform is its capability to intelligently predict the duration and suggest an appropriate slot based on the historical behavior of the forwarders and the flight schedule.
ADM has reduced the average freight handling time at dnata’s cargo terminals by more than 60 percent to an average of 30 minutes. Furthermore, the platform allows terminal operators to see demand in real-time. The solution coordinates with Dubai Customs to schedule inspection activities, too. Further associated business processes within the cargo terminal are also integrated as part of automated process connectivity.
Bernd Struck, Senior Vice President, UAE Cargo and DWC Airline Services, dnata, said: “We are delighted to offer our partners more value by implementing another innovative solution across our Dubai operations. ADM is a crucial element in our digital transformation programme. It seamlessly integrates into Calogi, our existing trading platform for the air cargo community, which connects over 800 supply chain partners with 2000 users. We continue to invest in leading technologies to provide best-in-class services to our customers.“
Michael Reichle, CEO of Siemens Logistics, said: “We offer powerful applications for increasing efficiency in freight and cargo process management. We are proud of how the platform in Dubai has improved our customer’s business processes.”
