The power of Digital Twins for Air Cargo
Digital twin technology offers transformative benefits for the air cargo industry by creating real-time virtual replicas of physical assets and processes. While the logistics continues to evolve, digital twins are stepping in to reshape planning and operations, providing unprecedented visibility, efficiency, and accuracy. Digital twins can replicate the entire ecosystem at airports, including aircraft, ground support equipment, and cargo flow. This enables airport authorities to simulate different scenarios, such as cargo handling, truck movements in and out of the airport and processing of critical documents.
The most interesting application of digital twin is sustainability where simulating different scenarios is possible. For example, ways to reduce fuel consumption, optimising delivery routes, and minimising carbon footprints to name a few can be simulated. Simulating disruptions such as demand supply slump, upcoming natural calamities etc. can be done seamlessly.
