AA Cargo Flies Record Volumes of Mango

Today on National Mango Day, American Airlines Cargo shares record volumes of mango shipments as it marks the half-way point in a multi-month project for the carrier in transporting high volumes of fresh mangoes this summer. The mangoes began first transiting in late May and will continue to move through the end of August, with volumes peaking mid-July to mid-August.

Originating in Pakistan, the mangoes travel on American’s interline partner to George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) where they are trucked to a treatment plant for washing and then on to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY).

Out of MSY, American utilizes its vast domestic network and narrowbody fleet to connect the mangoes across the US via hubs Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).

The mangoes are bundled together by colour and taste: Red are sweet, Blue are semi-sweet, and Yellow are tart. So far, the carrier has moved more than 50,000 lbs. of mangoes with estimated volumes surpassing 125,000 lbs. by the end of August. This is the first project of this scale to come out of American’s cargo operations in MSY.

American has extensive experience transporting fresh fruits and perishable goods like mangoes for many years. The carrier offers container handling systems and refrigeration coolers at key hubs, as well as transit guidelines and packaging requirements that ensure perishables stay fresh on their journey.

American Airlines Cargo transports cargo daily between major cities in the United States, Europe, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia. Offering a variety of products and handling capabilities, American Airlines Cargo supports shipments from life-saving pharmaceuticals to mail and e-commerce on the world’s largest passenger network.

Transport Orchestration Platform with new Capabilities

As the transportation industry evolves, software solutions are becoming increasingly critical in managing complex logistic systems. By integrating ZF’s deep expertise in vehicle systems into the development of its software solutions, ZF’s AI-powered orchestration platform SCALAR can help fleet managers optimize their fleet operations through predictive diagnostics and avoid unplanned downtime of their vehicles.

Unlike traditional fleet management tools, SCALAR offers a comprehensive approach that takes fleet management to the next level. Fleet managers benefit from being able to access real-time data and predictive analytics so that they can optimize the movement of their vehicles, trailers, and drivers.

Ensuring software is kept up to date

With the introduction of cybersecurity regulation UNECE R156, vehicle manufacturers are required to follow a standardized approach for software updates, authorizations and management. To help OEMs comply with the SUMS (Software Update Management System) regulations efficiently, ZF has introduced a new secure and efficient service through SCALAR. Its cloud-based SUMS as a Service (SUMSaaS) function manages the software updates for commercial vehicles, as well as for individual vehicle system or component, and makes them available for authorization. Additionally, it also keeps accurate records throughout the vehicle’s entire lifecycle. SCALAR SUMSaaS ensures that vehicle software can be updated securely, efficiently and effectively to fix bugs, patch security vulnerabilities as well as add new features while maintaining compliance with processes as stipulated by UNECE R156.

The SCALAR Trailer Software as a Service solution helps maximize uptime and performance while reducing costs for the whole trailer ecosystem, including trailer builders, rental companies, and fleets.

By connecting to ZF EBS-connected and TPMS-ready trailers, it enables a detailed remote assessment of the trailer’s technical health status. Beyond the collection of track and trace information, the service also supports fleets in optimizing fuel efficiency and avoid unplanned downtimes with wheel-end monitoring including tyre-pressure and tyre-temperature. Furthermore, it enables trailer builders to improve trailer design and customer service, creating a closer connection with their fleet customers.

Service time module enhances compliance

The service time module in the SCALAR dashboard helps fleets transition to digital systems, ensuring compliance with the mandatory upgrade from Smart Tachograph Gen 1 to Gen 2. This platform visualizes drivers’ service times, analyzes service options and assists with payroll administration as well as salary calculations. Additionally, SCALAR supports data downloads from all leading tachograph manufacturers, including the upcoming ZF Smart Tachograph.
