Super Sentinel is Unilode’s latest digital tracking solution which it developed in partnership with OnAsset Intelligence, and which, it says, “supercharges” the digital tracking of ULDs. The ULD manager announced the launch of the new feature this week, and will enable it on its Bluetooth and LoRa tags. Super Sentinel allows the ULD management company to track containers and pallets outside of its fixed reader network, thus significantly broadening Unilode’s chances of success in locating lost or unreported ULDs wherever in the world they may be. Hailed as “a groundbreaking development that delivers advanced ULD and piece-level tracking” and addressing a long-standing pain point suffered by airlines and cargo operators, the technology should be available on every one of Unilode’s fleet of 220,000+ ULDs by the end of this year. The expectation, once implemented, is that ULD loss or gaps in reporting will be eliminated through the use of digital intelligence. “Super Sentinel complements Unilode’s existing digital capabilities, including real-time ULD tracking, digital SCM and LUC, serviceability reporting, in-house customer portal, and system integrations,” the release showcases, going on to cite Unilode’s current successes with its digitized ULDs: they are 75% less likely to go unreported, and are almost completely unlikely to get lots (loss level is just 0.01%).
Unilode’s expectations now with the implementation of Super Sentinel, are: 95+% fewer unreported ULDs, and the elimination of loss through more detailed ULD tracking.
Ross Marino, CEO of Unilode, said: “Super Sentinel is a major step forward in our digital evolution. Our focus remains on delivering value and service excellence for our customers. Super Sentinel complements Unilode’s digital capabilities, offering tracking of lost and unreported ULDs beyond our reader network. We will continue to develop advanced capabilities such as piece-level tracking and cargo data intelligence. We are proud of our long-standing partnership with OnAsset Intelligence and their ability to respond rapidly to our growing digital requirements.”
Adam Crossno, CEO at OnAsset Intelligence, commented: “Super Sentinel demonstrates how scalable digital technology can deliver real operational value at a global scale. Our partnership with Unilode continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in ULD and cargo visibility, recovery, and intelligence, laying the groundwork for even more advanced digital capabilities in the future.”
