AirFeright plays an important role in the global flower industry, ensuring that exact flowers reach fresh and non -damaged destinations. Despite the important logistical challenges involved in the transfer of flowers, there are no custom unit loading devices that are explicitly designed for this type of charging, unlike specialized containers that are controlled by the temperature used in pharmaceutical products. But why is this the case, and how does the industry guarantee safe and effective transportation of flowers without dedicated ULD solutions? Pharmaceutical products, especially vaccines and biology, require strict temperature and specialized treatment.
This necessity has led to the development of a cool, advanced Usds equipped with active cooling, moisture control, and advanced monitoring systems. On the contrary, the flowers, although they are also damaged, generally require surrounding temperatures instead of accurate cooling, making the high -tech Ultle -expensive use and non -practical for this charging.
Shalyndra Kothari, Managing Director of Jettainer America, explains that flowers can be transferred in standard Usds like PMC and LD3 containers without major modifications. Some types of sensitive flowers may benefit from Usds that are controlled by temperature, but they are expensive and are not widely available, which require previous arrangements. The cost of these high -tech containers often exceeds the flow of flowers, which causes airlines and logistics service providers to choose improved dealing techniques instead of investing in specialized Usds.
One of the biggest challenges in transferring flowers is efficiency instead of controlling temperature. Flowers are light, but they are huge, which means that improving weightlifting to size is crucial to attending effective air. Unlike medications, which are usually compressed and highly valuable, the flowers occupy a large area of shipping charges. Maximizing the available space on flights while ensuring accurate loading to prevent bruising or cracking is a logistical challenge that the specialized Usds will not necessarily solve.
“Flowers require accurate loading techniques to ensure that they are not corrupted in crossing,” says Kothari. “Logistics services also include narrow time schedules since the flowers have a limited period of validity, and require effective coordination to ensure timely delivery.”
The real ULD challenge is a major issue of flower transfer is seasonal demand fluctuations. Peak periods, such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and end of the year, require logistics service providers to customize and re -put Usds around the world. This means that any investment in the specialized Usds will not be transferred to unuspread throughout the year, which makes it unimportant.
According to Kothari, Jettainer is efficiently treating these peaks by ensuring the service Usable Usable in the right place at the right time. However, this increased demand means that service providers often have a quick source and the additional Usds in a short notice, which makes flexibility more important than specialization.
ULD manufacturers and logistics service providers work on more lightweight and durable containers to reduce fuel burning and improve sustainability. While the transmission of medicines led to innovation in the temperature -controlled logistical services, there is still an area to improve the transfer of flowers.
“Sustainability is an increased focus in logistics,” says Kothari. “Users develop lighter and more powerful to reduce fuel consumption and environmental impact. In the future, we may also see an environmentally friendly and reusable package that maintains moisture and extends to the duration of flower capacity.”
While the flower Usls may seem an attractive idea, economic and operational facts make it insecure. Instead, logistics service providers focus on effective treatment, ULD strategic locations, and sustainable innovation to meet industry needs. Future developments in the reusable packaging, environmentally friendly, and improved ULD design can enhance the efficiency of flower transfer, but at the present time, the standard Usds remains the best solution.
“Innovations such as environmentally friendly or reusable packaging, which can help maintain temperature and humidity, which extends to the duration of the face of flowers are possible innovations that must be evaluated.
