SkyLoad iQ

Cargo must be loaded into the aircraft through the cargo doors. To check the loadability of cargo, an analysis of the package size table for each door is necessary. Using cargo dimensions, we can swiftly and accurately calculate details such as the compatible aircraft model, cargo compartment for loading, entry door, and the quantity of occupied positions. This information serves as a vital reference for booking, improving the efficiency and accuracy of cargo loading, while minimizing manual operations and errors.

The "Auto Position Design Wizard" is a powerful tool. It assists airlines in automatically and flexibly designing the ULD load layout for main or lower decks of various aircraft types. It allows for setting weight limits for each loading position, and specifying loadable ULD types. Through 3D visualization, it is possible to clearly view the layout of different cargo holds and the loading status of ULDs, ensuring a rational distribution of weight throughout the entire cargo compartment. This contributes to the balance of the aircraft, thereby enhancing the safety of the flight.

The Automatic Position Pattern Service performs ULD formula calculation based on the used ULD version. Through the loading layout of the aircraft's main cargo hold or lower cargo hold, it conducts a fully automatic analysis of ULD loading combinations. Automatically selects the optimal combination of suitable ULD types and quantities to maximize loading space utilization, ensure rational cargo arrangement in the hold, enhance overall transportation efficiency, reduce potential operational risks, and simultaneously save human resources.

The loading of dangerous goods is a crucial measure in aviation transport to ensure the safe transport of various incompatible goods. Following the specifications of the Incompatibility Chart, loading restrictions for incompatible goods are automatically considered, preventing risks arising from the interaction of different dangerous goods. For instance, there are loading restrictions between radioactive materials and live animals or hatching eggs to ensure that live animals or hatching eggs are not affected by radioactive substances.

When transporting goods by air, there are situations where incompatible goods may need to be loaded separately. This typically refers to cases where the characteristics or nature of goods are incompatible, leading to potentially unsafe interactions when loaded in the same ULD. In such cases, the use of an Open ULD or separated ULD is required. It is especially crucial to avoid loading ULDs with conflicting properties adjacent to each other in the cargo hold to prevent accidents. To comply with IATA's isolation regulations, taking into consideration the nature of the goods and the aircraft's cargo hold layout, ULDs are automatically allocated, ensuring proper isolation of ULDs.

For shipments containing radioactive materials, ensuring isolation between the cargo and passengers is a crucial measure. Different categories of radioactive materials may have varying radiation ranges. During the loading process, a radiation range assessment is necessary to determine the area potentially affected by radioactive materials. To ensure a precise and compliant isolation distance, SkyLoad iQ can automatically assess the radiation range of radioactive materials based on the transport index. It calculates the required isolation distance automatically, ensuring that there is no radiation hazard to personnel during transportation.

The calculation of shipment solution and ULD utilization schemes is a highly complex transport planning task, involving the consideration of multiple key factors such as the type of cargo, transportation requirements, ULD purposes, loading position weight restrictions, and more. For various shipment solutions, each ULD version allows flexible selection from a range of ULD types. The smart optimization engine automatically assesses the nature, quantity, and destination of the shipment, optimizing the loading sequence of ULDs to minimize usage. This ensures strict adherence to weight limits, safety regulations, and meets customer demands.

During the air transportation, goods are classified into two types: some cargo needs to be unloaded at the local cargo terminal, while the others need to be transferred to the next connecting flight. Among them, cargo from Quick Ramp Transfer (QRT) and Quick Warehouse Transfer (QWT) will be transferred to the next connecting flight. SkyLoad iQ automatically assesses the connection time window and transfer type, as well as the required time performance, based on the arrival time of the incoming flight. Ensuring the Minimum Connection Time, it calculates the optimal loading sequence automatically. This enhances the efficiency and accuracy of cargo transfers while ensuring timely and secure transfer processes.

Loading shipments with the same destination into the same ULD as much as possible can reduce sorting and loading steps, improve transportation efficiency, and also reduce the potential for errors and confusion during cargo transfer. By automatically optimizing ULD loading plans based on goods with the same destination, the number of loading and unloading operations is minimized, enhancing loading efficiency.

In situations such as takeoff, landing, or encountering turbulence, the cargo within the aircraft's hold may undergo shifting. During such instances, it becomes imperative to account for the limitations of G-force in three directions: forward (FWD), aft (AFT), and upward (UP). This meticulous consideration ensures the safety and stability of cargo loading. When cargo exceeds a specific weight, restraining measures must be applied. The required types and quantities of supporting materials are automatically calculated to ensure the stability of the cargo during the flight, in accordance with international transportation regulations, providing a more intelligent and secure cargo transportation solution.

The Maximum Floor Load Limitation refers to the weight that can be supported per square meter. If the limitation is exceeded, it becomes necessary to consider the use of load spreading area to distribute the excess load, thereby reducing pressure on the floor. When a piece of cargo exceeds a specific weight, the required load spreading area is automatically calculated based on the cargo's dimensions. The appropriate type, size, and quantity of support materials are then selected to increase the contact area, further dispersing the weight. This ensures that the maximum floor load limitation is not exceeded, thereby avoiding potential damage.

When a piece of cargo exceeds a certain length or weight range, it is considered BIG or HEA. When dealing with them, it is crucial to consider the stacking conditions and limitations on the load-bearing strength to prevent damage or safety risks caused by heavy items pressing on lighter ones. An intelligent optimization engine ensures that, during the loading calculation process, consideration is given to loading positions for BIG and HEA cargo. It automatically assesses stacking combination restrictions, ensuring the stability and safety of the overall cargo loading.

When calculating the loading for cargo and passenger flights, it is necessary to consider not only the loading of AWB, CBV, and CN38 cargo but also the reserved loading positions for BUP, onboard, and QRT cargo. To comprehend the intricate flight loading planning, our visualized loading results allow you to examine the actual loading status of your aircraft and the remaining number of available positions (main cargo hold or lower cargo hold) during any segment of each flight. This capability is particularly beneficial in optimizing the capacity across all segments throughout the lifecycle of loading positions for every flight.

In air cargo transportation, Embargo refers to a temporary or permanent restriction measure used to prohibit or limit the transport of certain specific goods. Based on the embargo restrictions set by various airports, the system automatically identifies the category of the cargo. If the cargo falls within the airport's restricted or prohibited category, the system automatically issues a violation alert. This is done to ensure the safety of cargo transportation, comply with regulatory requirements, and avoid the transportation of prohibited goods or potential security risks.

Road Feeder Service is a crucial component of transporting goods from an air cargo terminal or airport to their final destinations, and its efficiency and accuracy directly impact the overall performance of cargo transportation. Taking into account the demand for road feeder services and the minimum connection times, automatic systems are established to create truck loading plans that support road feeder services. This ensures that goods can be smoothly transferred from the air cargo terminal or airport to the customer's designated destination, providing a comprehensive cargo transportation service.
