KUALA LUMPUR: In optimising the use of their 20ft dollies, MAB Kargo Sdn Bhd (MASkargo) has incorporated the usage of a digital tracking solution in their operations.
This digital system enables complete control over ground operations by increasing dolly utilisation, automatically allocating dollies within the airport to prepare for peak hours and enhancing on-time performance.
“There are only 16 units of the 20-footer in our fleet and these are constantly in great demand due to their ability to take on more weight per trip. With a tracker on each dolly, we have complete visibility of the dollies across the airport grounds”, MASkargo ramp handling manager Abu Bakar Kassim said in a statement.
He said that in line with its core belief of “Digital is our Universe”, MASkargo constantly strives for innovation and is on the lookout for unique and cost-effective ways to improve terminal operations.
“In working with the LoraWAN gateway and AWS IOT platform, we have eliminated manual searches and are able to monitor the dollies inventory in real time for quick retrieval.
“This, in turn, translates to better customer service and more efficient operations,” he continued.
The system was handed over by Tim Wong, senior IT consultant of Apecia Sdn Bhd to Abu Bakar on Monday upon the completion of device installation and testing for 16 units of 20ft dollies in MASkargo.
Complete with geo-fencing alarm with 1.5km coverage, the ground team can look at achieving higher levels of safety and functionality. — BERNAMA
