SAS Cargo and Unilode Aviation Solutions will deepen their collaboration with the ULD provider digitising the airline’s fleet this year.

The agreement forms part of Unilode’s digital transformation programme, which is based on BLE5 technology and a global reader infrastructure.

This enables ULD tracking and measuring temperature, humidity, light and shock in airfreight shipments, among other benefits.

The development is a major milestone in a long-standing collaboration, which started in 2011 with the conversion of SAS Cargo’s ULD fleet to lightweight containers.

Leif Rasmussen, CEO and president of SAS Cargo Group says: “Unilode’s digital transformation programme supports SAS Cargo’s digital initiatives by providing a customer-centric approach and offering value-added services to SAS Cargo’s customers. The digitisation of our ULD fleet will bring SAS Cargo to the next level of supply chain excellence and we look forward to expanding our collaboration with Unilode.”

Benoit Dumont, CEO of Unilode says: “We are pleased that we can accelerate SAS Cargo’s digital ambitions with the digitalisation of the ULD operations, which we have been managing for eight years. We are proud to serve SAS Cargo as a trusted and strategic partner and we continue to work hard to provide SAS Cargo and all our customers with state-of-the-art ULD solutions, which contribute to an integrated, innovative and digital supply chain in the aviation industry.”
