ECT Automated Cargo Flow Procedure
1st Step
Customer Booking
The process begins with the customer completing the cargo booking in accordance with the airline’s scheduling and documentation requirements.
2nd Step
Cargo Arrival and Receiving at Track Dock
Based on the confirmed booking schedule, the cargo arrives at the designated track dock. The shipment is received and verified using a Handheld Terminal (HHT) scanning system to ensure proper entry into the system.
3rd Step
Carton Scanning in Scan Room
All cargo cartons are transferred to the scanning room, where each box undergoes security and system scanning to ensure compliance with operational and safety standards.
4th Step
Bin Loading After HHT Verification
After successful scanning, the cartons are scanned again using the HHT and systematically loaded into designated storage bins for tracking and inventory accuracy.
5th Step
Induction into ULD/ASRS System
Once scanning and bin loading are completed, the carton boxes are inducted into the ULD handling system or the Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS).
6th Step
Retrieval Prior to Flight and ULD Build-Up
Within the ASRS, the SRM (Storage and Retrieval Machine) automatically stores the cargo in the assigned storage location, ensuring optimized space utilization and system-controlled inventory management.
7th Step
Post Build-Up Handling
After ULD build-up is completed, the loaded ULD may either be temporarily stored or directly transferred to the airside station, depending on the flight schedule and operational requirements.
8th Step
Storage by ETV
The ULDs are stored using the ETV (Elevating Transfer Vehicle), which ensures safe and efficient vertical and horizontal movement within the system.
9th Step
Final Retrieval for Dispatch
According to the aircraft departure time, the ULD is retrieved from storage and transferred to the airside station for final dispatch preparation.
10th Step
Aircraft Loading and Departure
From the airside station, the ULD is transported via dolly to the aircraft and loaded accordingly. The aircraft then departs to its designated destination as per flight schedule.
