According to sources, the airline’s new internet of things (IoT) product—Cargo Eye offers end-to-end visibility for all its air cargo operations, besides facilitating transparency by providing real-time tracking information its customers.

The air cargo tracking tool has been developed using Qoco Systems and it’s integrated with various systems feeding data, such as booking data, location, temperature and humidity of shipments, and ground transport vehicles location or temperatures of shipments.

The air cargo tracking tool ‘Cargo Eye’ is also expected to support Finnair’s newly formed cargo control center in effectively monitoring and steering cargo flows in real time within its freight network. The newly automated cargo terminal commenced its operations for perishable shipments, including seafood in October.

Says Janne Tarvainen, managing director of Finnair Cargo, “We are pleased to introduce Cargo Eye at Slush. We also wish to invite various start-ups to join us in innovating and improving the productivity of Cargo Eye, and establish transparent E2E value chains for practical cargo network steering.”
