7 June, 2019: Unilode Aviation Solutions and AirBridgeCargo Airlines, part of Volga-Dnepr Group has deepened their long-standing Unit Load Device (ULD) management partnership with the rollout of the world's first digitised main deck containers, which are co-branded dedicated AMA/AMD fire-resistant containers (FRC) equipped with a Transmitting Portable Electronic Device (TPED).
The containers, which are manufactured by Nordisk Aviation Products, have been designed with the usage of the latest technology in fire barriers for aviation and are equipped with TPEDs based on Unilode's award-winning Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0) technology. The containers enable to track the location of the ULD and the cargo being carried in the container, and transmit status updates on various parameters such as temperature, humidity, shock and light. The first half of the new digitised AMA/AMD fire-resistant container fleet will be delivered by Unilode by the end of June and the rest in September to give AirBridgeCargo Airlines time to test and introduce them gradually into its operations.
