DALLAS – Soon, customers who receive a shipment of fresh-cut roses may be able to tell exactly where the flowers came from, how long the journey took and what condition they are in with just a glance at the air waybill (AWB).
Today at IATA’s World Cargo Symposium, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) revealed plans to launch its own data-sharing platform that will provide supply chains access to the status of associated real-time data regarding flower shipments.
The platform, which is part of the airport’s Smart Cargo Mainport Program, will create a link between an air waybill number and cargo data, such as number of boxes, flower type and number of stems per box, and generates a unique code that partners will use to access information through their internal systems.
