KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 -- Unisys Corporation, a global information technology company has announced its cargo industry director, Niranjan Navaratnarajah will present at the Air Cargo India conference on Feb 26 in Mumbai.
He will discuss why a fundamental cultural change is essential for the air cargo industry to remain nimble, economically viable and combat escalating physical and data security threats.
“In the increasingly competitive air cargo industry, the whole ecosystem spanning airlines, warehouses, freight forwarders, booking agents, customs and road/rail transport must accelerate its digital transformation to be more efficient and remain economically viable,” said Navaratnarajah.
“Some players have made great strides in adopting new technologies, from online marketplaces, to IoT and drones. However, for most of the industry, a fundamental cultural change is required to evolve and create a truly connected supply chain.”
Navaratnarajah has cited three areas where cultural change was required in air cargo, namely, make inventory visible across multiple sales channels to create new business models, focus on both data and physical security, and respond to market demand for specialised cargo.
Reducing shipment dwell time in warehouses is key to improving efficiency. Smarter processes in the warehouse are a first step, but the industry also needs to develop new channels to market.
Unisys has more than 55 years of experience providing innovative IT solutions to the travel and transportation industry. Its cargo solutions are used by many of the world's leading carriers, who collaborate via the Unisys Cargo User Group.
