Unilode Aviation Solutions and Nordisk Aviation Products have developed an integrated solution to fit digital tags onto pallets.

According to Unilode, it has started equipping its ULD fleet with digital tags that use Bluetooth Low Energy 5 technology. The tag-mounting solution developed for Nordisk pallets is reliable, durable and non-obstructive in daily operations.

“It is our clear ambition to bring the aviation industry to the next level of efficiency and supply chain transparency with digital ULDs,” said Benoît Dumont, CEO of Unilode. “Sophisticated and smart solutions require stronger collaboration between the players along the supply chain. The digital solution for Nordisk pallets is the result of a successful cooperation and an important step towards our goal to digitalize Unilode’s entire ULD fleet for the benefit of all our current and future customers.”

Existing Nordisk pallets will be retrofitted with the digital tags to enable ULD tracking and the measurement of temperature and shock. New pallets can be acquired ex-works with a pre-installed tag.

“The integrated x-rail digital solution for Unilode has been developed in good cooperation over the past few months,” said Richard Betts, president of Nordisk. “Nordisk is pleased to contribute to Unilode’s award-winning digital transformation programme, which is the next step of evolution in the aviation industry. Nordisk pallets will be fitted with the x-rail solution in the coming months and we look forward to the digital pallets being used by Unilode’s customers worldwide.”
