Cathay Pacific has been named “Best in Future of Connectedness” at the 2021 IDC Future Enterprise Awards for its development of Ultra Track: a next-generation track-and-trace solution that uses Bluetooth Low Energy data-loggers to monitor shipments’ GPS location and temperature in a near-real-time manner, making it ideal for temperature-sensitive and other special shipments. Staff at Cathay Pacific Cargo’s Operations Control Centre as well as shippers are able to track and monitor the shipments’ status, including specific parameters such as vibration, humidity, and light exposure.
The launch of Ultra Track was brought forward to meet the unprecedented logistical challenge for the air cargo industry of distributing urgently needed COVID-19 vaccines globally. Ultra Track has transformed the way temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical shipments are handled, ensuring life-saving medications can be successfully delivered around the world.
