The CMA CGM Air Cargo is equipped with AI to optimize loading schedule times
CMA CGM Air Cargo uses CHAMP Cargosystems' artificial intelligence (AI) Cargospot weighing and balancing solution to reduce load schedule time for freighter aircraft.
CHAMP says that with advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence, Cargospot Weight & Balance can generate fuel-optimized and safe load plans in seconds through its "auto-load" feature.
This allows load managers to reduce manual load planning time, which previously took more than an hour, and focus on other critical flight safety tasks during aircraft turnaround.
Shortly before CMA CGM Air Cargo implemented Cargospot Weight & Balance, the airline adopted other CHAMP products, These include Cargospot airline, Cargospot Portal, Cargospot Business Intelligence and Traxon cargoHUB.
Khaled Chamsuddine, Product Manager Weight and Balance at CHAMP, said: "By leveraging our software, CMA CGM AIR CARGO provides fast, safe and fully optimised flight load planning that helps reduce fuel consumption. This saves costs and meets environmental sustainability goals."
David Linford, vice president of sales and account management at CHAMP Cargosystems, added: "CHAMP's Cargospot Weight and balance system is particularly suited for the CARGO business and is a great fit for the innovative CMA CGM AIR CARGO to add to their toolkit, and by leveraging our solution, CMA CGM AIR CARGO ensures a high degree of accuracy for air cargo flights. Convenience and security."
Last October, CHAMP launched the Traxon Multi-Carrier API, which allows freight forwarders and shipper users to compare availability and prices and book between multiple airlines.
