PSIairport/CARGO (Air Cargo Processing)

The tasks facing air cargo handling centres are becoming increasingly complex. The ever increasing demand for air freight, involving processing larger quantities at a faster pace within the same available terminal space, is only a part of the challenges faced each day. A tried and tested, efficient system is needed for terminal organisation in order to make the right information available at the right time. The PSIairport/CARGO system, from PSI Logistics GmbH, links informational and operational processes and supports all ground handling requirements. Build up and Break down, together with optimum utilisation of the workforce, can be made even more efficient by using well-engineered strategies. This reduces costs and increases flexibility. With clear, tried and tested user guidance, it is easy to learn how to use PSIairport/CARGO meaning that it is accepted quickly by employees in the terminal and in administration. The system functions are designed around the market requirements and can also easily be tailored to individual requirements. The parameterisable strategies of the system increase throughput rate and make a significant contribution to the fulfilment of orders.
