Miami airport to deploy shared logistics platform for cargo community

MIAMI BEACH — Miami International Airport has signed with Kalé Logistics Systems to set up the world’s first AI-based air cargo community system designed to streamline data exchange and communication between supply chain stakeholders on a centralized platform, with the goal of eliminating time-consuming paper-based transactions and manual scheduling that contributes to truck congestion.

Kalé offers cargo community systems and cargo management systems for ground handling companies at more than 125 airports and also runs single digital ecosystems at more than 75 maritime ports.

The air cargo community system combines various modules designed to simplify various tasks such as scheduling truck pick up and delivery at airport terminals, transmitting electronic delivery orders, electronic payments and filing customs documents. The idea is for airlines, logistics companies, motor carriers, customs brokers, warehouse operators and regulators to exchange data on a common platform that automatically routes the information to the correct party rather than relying on fragmented manual processes and systems, each with their own unique procedures.

Existing systems are credited with simplifying management of landside operations, providing granular insights into cargo flows, facilitating regulatory processes and improving end-to-end shipment visibility.
