\u201cOur new cargo facility will enable us to meet the rapidly growing demand for our efficient and reliable services, providing best-in-class solutions to our customers. In addition, it will help us continue to consistently deliver on our two core promises of quality and safety. We thank Schiphol Airport\u2019s teams for their support and are looking forward to continuing our successful partnership to strengthen Amsterdam\u2019s position as a leading cargo hub in the continent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to invest in infrastructure, equipment and cutting-edge technologies with a clear focus on sustainability to further enhance our offering and offset our carbon footprint across our global network.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jan Willem Weissink, Managing Director<\/strong>,<\/strong>Schiphol Commercial<\/strong>, said:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cAmsterdam Airport Schiphol is Europe\u2019s best-connected airport, with the most direct air destinations. The cargo operation is of critical importance to our airport\u2019s network which became even more evident\u00a0during the COVID pandemic. Together with dnata and other partners, Schiphol is working on a highly successful, efficient and sustainable cargo operation. We are delighted to have started the construction of dnata Cargo City Amsterdam for one of our most important partners in the cargo operation at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol\u201d.<\/p>\n

dnata Cargo City Amsterdam<\/strong>\u00a0will be equipped with two separate automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS),\u00a0using the latest technology from L\u00f6dige,\u00a0for import and export with twelve stacker cranes.

dnata will also make use of seven intelligent automated guided vehicles (AGV) to enable flexible and scalable ULD transport within the terminal. These AGVs, which represent a recent product innovation of L\u00f6dige Industries, will be applied here for the first time on a large scale. Another special feature will be the implementation of smart gates, which automatically record the volume and weight of all incoming consignments by scanning them in 3D, thus significantly speeding up handling and improving the quality of service.<\/p>\n

All elements will be integrated into a comprehensive high performance warehouse management system to enable dnata to further grow its operations and service at Schiphol. The high level of automation will not only save dnata space and time, but will also increase safety and free up staff for higher-value tasks.<\/p>\n
