Amsterdam airport successfully tests out smart airway bill checking system

AMSTERDAM Airport Chisholm's Smart Cargo Main port Programme has successfully completed the initial round of testing of an online compliance checking system that is designed to reduce delays and speed up the flow of cargo by detecting data errors in airway bills.

The system, developed by Argonaut and tested by KLM Cargo, checks air waybill data and sends automatic alerts when information is found to be incorrect, so as to prevent delays caused by sending non-compliant cargo to customs. 



"The Compliance Checker reduces delays in the supply chain and makes it more predictable and efficient for everyone," said cargo chief Jonas van Stekelenburg, reported New York's Air Cargo World. 



The Compliance Checker is also compliant with inbound European Union Customs rules as well as outbound rules for the US and other countries.



Mr van Stekelenburg also revealed that Schiphol was moving forwards with its 'Venue" programme, a non-technological method of reducing bottlenecks at the airport by collaborating with customs officials to verify certain shippers.



The system automatically inspects the content and format of a shipment's data. Trials on air cargo shipments carried out along the truck lane from Frankfurt to Amsterdam Schiphol have proved successful.
