Automation Degree
The degree of automation of an EWS depends largely on integration with upstream processes and digital systems. While personnel are still required for build and break activities, automation supports manual work and improves efficiency in handling and positioning. Depending on the configuration, automation can include the feeding of ULDs and the digital processing of information – from simple manual feeding and scanning to fully automated transfer, where ULDs are already registered and processed in the Cargo Professional Suite. Choose the automation level that matches your operational needs.
