Lödige Industries has taken over the maintenance of various cargo handling systems for dnata at Singapore Changi Airport, including the first material handling system installed by Lödige Industries in Asia in 1979.
This system, which has been operated for decades, is now being upgraded for optimal performance.
The maintenance scope also covers the Automatic Cargo Handling System (ACHS), Pallet Cargo Handling System (PCHS), and mechanical systems at the Cool Chain, and the perishable terminal.
Lödige Industries is also developing solutions that will further enhance the cargo facility at dnata.
"Our partnership with Lödige Industries is the best we could have chosen, not only because they have extensive experience and knowledge in this field, but also because they understand our needs and have consistently proven themselves to have a high level of reliability," said Sam Gould, head of Cargo at dnata Singapore.
"With this critical service, we will ensure that our cargo handling systems are ready for long-term operation, enabling us to handle growing cargo volumes and maintain the high-quality standards required by our customers," he added.
Lödige Industries noted that extending the life cycle of materials handling systems with appropriate upgrades is essential and, ensures uninterrupted operation and reduces ongoing maintenance costs.
In addition to supplying comprehensive, customized, high-standard systems and equipment, Lödige Industries sets a high priority on the maintenance of existing systems.
"Maintaining a fundamentally functioning system of good quality and adapting it to new challenges through upgrades can be the most effective solution in this case. We are very pleased to support dnata once again," said Ranga Jayaweera, general manager for Singapore for Lödige Industries.
Lödige Industries' previous projects for dnata in Singapore include the equipping of their perishable center, implementing an elevating transfer vehicle (ETV) system, and the provision of equipment, including A&A and E&M works prior to underpinning.
