Unilode, Cathay Pacific successfully conclude ULD Bluetooth trials
Unilode has ‘successfully’ completed the Bluetooth tracking trials with its ULD management customer Cathay Pacific, delivering end-to-end visibility of cargo shipments between Hong Kong and Melbourne, the ULD management company stated.
The project team, consisting of Cathay Pacific, OnAsset, Nexiot and Unilode, was able to deliver a flawless capture of data for all relevant supply chain events into Cathay Pacific’s cargo management systems.
The trial included the world’s first deployment of Bluetooth Low Energy version 5 technology with superior performance and range over any other Bluetooth deployment previously conducted, and also featured another world-first with data capture being conducted with a mix of fixed readers and mobile devices (smartphones and tablets), which all parties believe marks the true game-changer for delivering reliable and robust tracking services to our industry.
The upscaling of the ongoing ULD track & trace trials will continue and Unilode will be making further announcements on its rollout schedule for the digital enablement of its ULD fleet in the very near future.
