\u201cWe continue to invest in digital technologies to provide best-in-class services to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Muhammad Al Bakri, IATA\u2019s Regional Vice President for Africa and the Middle East<\/b>, said: \u201cdnata\u2019s decision to adopt IATA\u2019s DG AutoCheck is great news for their customers and the cargo industry. It reinforces dnata\u2019s commitment to operating with the highest levels of safety and efficiency, particularly in relation to the carriage of dangerous goods. And their customers will benefit from the efficiency of electronic documentation and the industry will be one step closer to full digitization of the supply chain, essential for the long-term growth of the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
DG AutoCheck is a digital solution that facilitates the acceptance of Dangerous Goods by checking the compliance of the Shipper\u2019s Declaration for Dangerous Goods (DGD) against all relevant rules and regulations contained in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR). Optical character recognition technology transforms the paper DGD into electronic data. DG AutoCheck can also receive electronic Shipper\u2019s Declaration for Dangerous Goods (e-DGD). This data is then processed and verified automatically using the digital version of the DGR.<\/p>\n
DG AutoCheck will also facilitate dnata\u2019s decision to accept or reject a shipment during the physical inspection stage by providing a pictorial representation of the package with the marking and labelling required for air transport.<\/p>\n
