New service developed by allivate joint venture to expand digital Cargo Community System – Real-time dashboard to show incoming cargo consignments at CargoCity South – World-first system for entire cargo process chain at FRA

A new ‘Cargo Dashboard’ service will display incoming cargo volumes and processes at Frankfurt Airport (FRA) in real time – representing yet another milestone in optimizing cargo processes through digitization. The aim of the dashboard is to provide participating companies in the cargo community with a comprehensive overview of current operating conditions. Companies can use this data to assess these conditions realistically, allowing them to adjust their processes if necessary.

Martina Schikorr, Managing Director at allivate GmbH, explains: “The Cargo Dashboard supplies at-a-glance information about the entire process chain to all participants. This includes distribution of cargo volumes across the day, current throughput times, infrastructure utilization, as well as the overall process performance. The system allows bottlenecks to be identified and for resources to be more efficiently allocated. It also provides customers with reliable insights into performance.”

The user-friendly dashboard will be integrated into the existing FAIR@Link platform as part of the digital Cargo Community System to provide cargo community decision-makers in particular with valuable insights into current on-site process quality and efficiency.

The innovation from allivate has been made possible thanks to comprehensive data from the systems of a large number of companies, matched with the combined expertise of airport operator Fraport and IT firm DAKOSY.

Particularly noteworthy is the high level of cooperation from the companies at the site, which provide their data transparently. This underlines the close and trusting cooperation within the cargo community, which played a key role in the development. Unlike conventional Business Intelligence (BI) dashboards, allivate’s solution integrates data from a range of sources to provide a comprehensive and overarching state-of-play for all participants.
