Unilode Aviation Solutions (Unilode), OnAsset Intelligence (OnAsset), and Air Canada have announced a collaboration agreement to share data and digital infrastructure to redefine how unit load devices (ULDs) move through the global airfreight network.<\/p>\n

By combining Air Canada\u2019s airline operations with OnAsset\u2019s aviation-compliant digital tracking and monitoring solutions and Unilode’s global IoT network and fully digitalised ULD fleet, the three companies intend to create an interoperable offering to seamlessly capture true end-to-end data.<\/p>\n

Unilode and OnAsset have established a global network comprising thousands of readers across airports worldwide.<\/p>\n

Air Canada and OnAsset have also collaborated to deploy comprehensive network coverage at Air Canada Cargo warehouses and airport locations, and Air Canada\u2019s entire aircraft fleet, which is an industry first. The parties are now working together to share this established infrastructure and the rich data it produces to enable end-to-end visibility for ULDs.<\/p>\n

Janet Wallace, managing director of cargo operations and transformation at Air Canada Cargo, said: \u201cOur customers want more control, more transparency, and more confidence in how their cargo is handled. With this combined relationship, we\u2019re delivering a smarter cargo experience from start to finish. This isn\u2019t just an operational improvement – it\u2019s a leap forward for the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unilode<\/a>\u2019s chief executive, Ross Marino, said: \u201cBy aligning operational strategy with data intelligence, we\u2019re enabling a smarter, more efficient cargo network. Until today, the ability to track and measure real-time performance allows us to deliver services and data insights that have not been possible until now.\u201d<\/p>\n

OnAsset\u2019s chief executive, Adam Crossno, said: \u201cThis programme is a proof point for how IoT and aviation can come together to solve complex logistics challenges. This is true innovation and a real example of the power of sharing for the benefit of all. This is not just talk; this is action, and it\u2019s only the beginning of what this combined relationship will deliver to the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom predictive analytics to environmental tracking, this is the future of air cargo – and with true collaboration and data through IoT, it\u2019s now possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
