Testing robots, AI, ONE Record in real-world air cargo ops with Harald Sieke of Fraunhofer IML

In this engaging conversation from Air Cargo Europe 2025 in Munich, Harald Sieke, Head of Aviation Logistics at Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (IML), talks to Libin Chacko Kurian about how applied research is shaping the future of air cargo.

Sieke shares how his team is testing autonomous vehicles, predictive AI tools, and ONE Record standards—not in labs, but inside real air cargo warehouses and aprons. The result is a powerful combination of software, robotics, and insight built not for theory, but for application.
