Challenge

FIEGE Air Cargo Logistics sought a way to optimize the build-up process for air cargo pallets. This process demands precision to maximize the use of available cargo space while adhering to strict safety regulations. Errors in the process can lead to delays, additional costs, and even penalties.

Solution

At Frankfurt Airport, the two companies implemented a digital inspection system powered by AI Vision, a Telekom-supported image and video analysis platform. Multiple LiDAR sensors capture the depth data of pallets in real time, enabling precise three-dimensional measurement and contour verification.

Customer benefit

The digitalization and automation of the build-up process significantly enhance its efficiency and speed, enabling smoother and faster operations. By leveraging digital documentation of packing processes, FIEGE can identify areas for improvement, leading to long-term efficiency gains and cost savings. Additionally, automated measurements strengthen quality assurance by immediately detecting and correcting any errors, ensuring high standards are consistently met.
