Wiremind Cargo’s new system introduces several new enhancements that build on the company’s original platform. While many of the improvements are incremental, there are also significant changes.
One of the most notable upgrades is the integration of SkyPallet, which was previously a standalone application. Previously, SkyPallet and the CargoStack suite of products operated separately. With this update, SkyPallet will be incorporated into the CargoStack ecosystem, resulting in a more unified user experience. The new interface will align with the intuitive design, making it easier for users to navigate.
“A major advantage of this is the ability to perform deeper integrations. SkyPallet will now have access to all the data stored within Cargo Stack, including flight details and booking information. This will enable more sophisticated algorithms to generate results tailored to specific scenarios, enhancing the system’s overall functionality,” Guillermo Medina Moralejo, Wiremind Cargo’s Vice President of Business Development, said.
Although we will maintain the core functionalities that have been developed over the years, this integration unlocks new potential for more seamless and efficient workflows, making the system even more powerful and versatile.”
Easier adoption
By making the system more user-friendly and accessible, Wiremind Cargo is aiming to address some of the challenges they encountered with the first version of SkyPallet.
While the initial version was effective, some of its capabilities were not easily accessible. The new version will enhance integration, reducing manual tasks by running autonomously in the background, to help produce optimal outputs and serve as a more effective tool.
“In the first version, SkyPallet had an API for integration, but it didn’t have real-time awareness of external factors,” Moralejo stated.
“For each calculation, users had to manually input all the necessary information about bookings and capacity. However, the updated version will be able to pull real-time data from its wider ecosystem, including flight schedules and bookings, run calculations, and then easily push results to external systems.”
“This ability to run autonomously and provide real-time information is crucial in air freight, where conditions can change rapidly. Companies need reliable, up-to-date data to make quick decisions.”
Connective and educational
Airlines often stop accepting bookings once a flight reaches a certain load factor to avoid inefficiencies in how cargo is built up. However, this is typically based on volume rather than a realistic simulation of how cargo will be palletised. With SkyPallet version 2.0, airlines run simulations in real-time, allowing them to accept bookings more accurately based on how cargo will actually be configured.
This kind of integration not only optimises capacity management but also provides capacity controllers and analysts with better visibility. It allows them to focus on more strategic tasks, knowing that the system is optimising in the background.
“The 3D visualisation adds value by making data more accessible and intuitive. It’s not just about looking impressive—it helps users visualise how cargo will be built, enabling them to make informed decisions or adjustments as needed,” Moralejo explained.
“Moreover, the 3D visualisation is incredibly valuable from an onboarding perspective. Workers may instinctively understand how to palletise shipments, but new employees often lack this intuition.
“The visualisation tool serves as an educational resource, allowing even those with less experience to quickly understand how to build pallets effectively. This feedback from our customers, especially new airlines, has been positive—they find that the tool helps reduce training time and increase productivity for new team members.”
