CMA CGM Air Cargo has implemented CHAMP Cargosystems' artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled Cargospot Weight & Balance solution to reduce freighter aircraft load planning time.
Using advanced algorithms and AI, Cargospot Weight & Balance can produce a fuel-optimised and safe load plan in seconds through its “Autoload” feature, said CHAMP.
This allows the load master to reduce manual load planning time, which previously took over one hour, and concentrate on other crucial flight safety tasks during aircraft turnaround.
CMA CGM Air Cargo's implementation of Cargospot Weight & Balance comes shortly after the airline adopted other CHAMP products, including Cargospot Airline, Cargospot Portal, Cargospot Business Intelligence, and Traxon cargoHUB.
Khaled Chamsuddine, product manager weight & balance at CHAMP, said: “By leveraging our software, CMA CGM AIR CARGO delivers fast, safe, and fully optimised flight load plans, contributing to reducing fuel burn. This results in saving costs and achieving environmental sustainability goals.”
David Linford, vice president sales and account management from CHAMP Cargosystems, added: “CHAMP’s Cargospot Weight & Balance continues to be particularly suited for freighter operations and is a natural fit for the innovative CMA CGM AIR CARGO to add this to their tool kit and by leveraging our solution, CMA CGM AIR CARGO can ensure extreme accuracy, ease, and safety for air cargo flights.”
In October last year, CHAMP launched the Traxon Multi-Carrier API to allow forwarder and shipper users to compare availability and pricing and make bookings across multiple airlines.
