Better visibility, better asset control

ULD damage and idle time cost the industry real money every year, and most of it is avoidable with better visibility. AIULD (AI ULD & Asset Management) gives airlines one view across owned, leased, and pooled assets. It combines live location and condition signals with utilization optimization and loss prevention, so teams can act on where assets are and where they should be.

An intelligence layer, not a fleet owner

An intelligence layer, not a fleet owner

AIULD does not compete to own your ULD fleet. It works across whatever assets you already operate.

How it Works

IoT tracking with no fixed readers, feeding one asset intelligence layer

ULD scan and acceptance, transfers and movements, discrepancy reporting, and bulk field operations.

Fleet registry and status, location and condition tracking, repair and maintenance, and stock balancing.

Demand-based positioning, imbalance prediction, and a reactive airport asset map with live KPIs.

Demurrage and billing, lease reconciliation, audit trail, and regulatory compliance. 

Fleet-owner APIs, SmartKargo Eye IoT, and platform and handler systems.

A live network map across 38+ stations, with entity-specific KPIs and a reactive asset map filterable by station, status, and asset type. 

The Business Case

AIULD is built to lift utilization, cut loss and idle time, and give operations and finance teams one consistent view of their asset position.

  • Higher ULD utilization
  • Less loss and idle time
  • One consistent view of asset position

Frequently Asked Questions

AIULD is a ULD and ground-asset management solution that adds an intelligence layer across your fleet. It brings together asset tracking, utilization data, and operational insights to help teams know where assets are and how they are being used. Powered by SmartKargo Eye IoT tracking, AIULD provides network-wide visibility without requiring fixed reader infrastructure. This helps airlines improve asset utilization, reduce loss, and make better decisions about asset movement and availability.

No. AIULD is designed to complement fleet owners and leasing partners such as Unilode and Jettainer, not replace them. It connects with these partners through APIs, allowing airlines to work with the fleet and services they already use. AIULD does not own or lease ULDs or other ground assets. Instead, it gives airlines greater visibility and intelligence to manage the assets within their network more effectively.

SmartKargo Eye is a proprietary, airline-approved IoT tracker that provides real-time visibility of ULDs and ground assets. Its credit-card-sized design makes it easy to attach to assets, while its non-lithium battery provides roughly six months of battery life. It uses wide-area connectivity and can be recharged through USB-C. Because it does not rely on fixed readers, it can support asset tracking across airports, outstations, and third-party handling locations.

No. SmartKargo Eye does not require fixed reader infrastructure at every station, helping airlines track assets across a wider network without installing and maintaining readers. This is particularly useful at outstations and locations managed by third-party handlers where airlines may not control the infrastructure. Assets can remain visible as they move through different locations, giving teams a more complete view of their ULD and ground-asset network.

Are your assets where you need them?
