XOPS Real Time Temperature Monitoring of Cool Dollies helps Hong Kong Airport become the first IATA Centre of Excellence for Perishable Logistics (CEIV fresh) partner airport in the world.
Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has been recognised by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) as a Partner Airport of IATA’s Center of Excellence for Perishable Logistics (IATA CEIV Fresh), the first airport community in the world to receive the IATA CEIV Fresh Certification. The recognition epitomises HKIA’s excellent capability in the transportation and handling of perishable cargo, through its efficient, dedicated facilities and services provided in a stringent temperature-controlled process at globally assured standards.
The accreditation has been pioneered at HKIA, with Airport Authority Hong Kong (AA) working closely with members of the airport community including Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (HACTL), Cathay Pacific Services Limited (CPSL) and Cathay Pacific. The programme is aimed to improve the handling and the transport of perishable products to ensure food safety, as well as reduce food wastage and loss along the supply chain.
To support the continuous growth, the AA will ensure high-quality specialty facilities and services for perishable air cargo.
The Airport Authority is providing 30 x cool dollies that has XOPS telematics technology installed including 2 x temperature probes, access control and fuel monitoring options on all vehicles.
The Temperature monitoring can be set for high and low temperature alerts to warn the operators of temperature changes that are out of range of the perishable goods.
These dollies are for use by the whole airport community.
Note: The image above shows tracking of 2 x temperature probes on a single dolly over a period of time.
