At SMARTIST, we offer an innovative storage process with our autonomous systems for the transfer of cargo to storage locations without the use of lifting equipment. We aim to reduce the dependence of our operations processes on humanpower, optimize storage processes and ensure the optimal efficiency and utilization of storage capacity.

With our ASRS autonomous intelligent storage systems, we carry out weight and size measurements by scanning cargoes with sensors, and we carry out destination-based storage operations related to shipment without manpower and with minimal equipment movement.

With our PCHS ULD storage systems, we perform automatic measurement of ULD weight and height and automatic ULD assignment according to the time of the expedition. We carry out a fast, lean and high-quality operation by using special heat-controlled storage areas to store cold chain ULDs. We optimize the ULD loading process with this system that works integrated with our flight schedule.
