Lufthansa Cargo has taken temperature-controlled shipping to the next level. The air cargo giant has added four new features to enhance temperature-sensitive services, with the goal of increasing quality, speed and control.
The features are round-the-clock monitoring through a Pharma Control Tower, additional protection via Thermo Covers, real-time tracking with smartULD and faster booking through td.Zoom.
The Pharma Control Tower allows 24/7 monitoring of shipments at Lufthansa Cargo hubs in Munich and Frankfurt, Germany, as well as Brussels. The feature supports both active and passive temperature control.
Thermo covers are most commonly used for the passive temperature support to shield goods from extreme heat or cold during ramp handling.
Smart ULD is real-time monitoring for active-temperature-control shipments that equips certain container types with sensors that continuously record temperature. This provides customers with end-to-end visibility from pickup to delivery.
Td.Zoom is an update that allows customers to book passive temperature support for expedited transportation. This option offers faster access to capacity and reduced transit times for items like pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and high-tech products, without any weight restrictions.
This is the first rollout in a series of improvements the cargo giant is making to improve its temperature-controlled solutions.
