The Race Against Time in Air Cargo
When Formula 1 teams airlifted 438 tons of equipment to Shanghai in 2024, every second counted. This urgency mirrors daily operations at air cargo terminals – where ground handling must match aircraft speed. Enter Changheng Intelligent’s ULD systems, engineered to synchronize warehouse workflows with aviation-grade precision.
Why ULD Systems Matter
Unit Load Devices (ULDs) are the building blocks of air cargo – standardized containers, pallets, and nets that transform loose freight into aircraft-ready modules. Yet 73% of cargo delays originate from ground handling inefficiencies (IATA 2023 Report). Our systems address this gap through:
✅ Real-time ULD weighing (±0.5% accuracy)
✅ Automated conveyor networks (60 ULDs/hour throughput)
✅ AI-powered load optimization (27% space utilization boost)
Changheng Intelligent's Airport Cargo Terminal Solutions
1. Smart Weighing Systems
- Dynamic weight capture: Measures cargo during transport (No process stoppage)
- Load planning integration: Auto-calculates aircraft balance parameters
- Compliance assurance: Generates IATA-compliant documentation instantly
Technical Edge
- Capacitive sensors withstand -40°C to 80°C
- 5G-enabled data sync with airline CARGOS systems
2. Automated ULD Conveyors
| Stage | Technology | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Loading | Robotic arm palletizers | 90 sec/ULD formation |
| Transfer | Cross-belt sorters | 1.5m/s sorting speed |
| Security | X-ray integrated scanning | 250 ULDs/hour inspection |
Operational Impact
