Temperature-Sensitive Cargo is transported by means of environmentally friendly methods
Turkish Cargo was recently crowned the ecological policies that are being implemented within the framework of its activities worldwide with an award, the carrier announced in a press communique.
The air cargo carrier was selected as the best air cargo brand in Europe and deemed worthy of the ‘Sustainable Cargo Airline of the year 2022: EUROPE’ at the Freightweek Sustainability Awards 2022.
The annual Freightweek Sustainability Awards programme incorporates categories that cover the top-ranking air cargo brands, airports, handling companies, container and ULD vendors in respect of sustainability, as well as all stakeholders of the air cargo operations such as air cargo technologies, drone technologies, storage services.
With innovative approaches, we aim to deliver effective solutions to our customers and industry partners. Within this scope, Turkish Cargo has recently inaugurated its new hub, SMARTIST, at İstanbul Airport. This new facility is a major example of the brand’s commitment to offer high-end services, enhanced with smart technologies and digitalization to shape the future of the global air cargo business,” stated Turhan Ozen, Chief Cargo Officer, Turkish Airlines.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology
Thanks to the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology that enhances the business quality and enables the employees to focus on the processes with a higher added value, Turkish Cargo maintains its journey to the future more robustly by making use of the software robots in its business processes, the press statement continued.
The software robots, called as metal-collar, can execute the business processes which are routine, manually performed and repetitive, on 7/24 basis, and act in harmony with the white-collar employees. Thus, enhanced business processes are being conducted in terms of quality, speed, productivity, and digitalization.
Working in partnership with leading active and passive container suppliers in the industry, Turkish Cargo has made the choice of environmentally friendly containers for the transport of the temperature-sensitive cargo.
Such containers, some of which are operated by being charged and some of which are equipped with dedicated cooling plates, also allow for re-use. Thanks to such containers, temperature-sensitive cargo is shipped without carbon emission and within the desired temperature range from the point of origin to the destination in an environment friendly way.
