DIMOS Maschinenbau GmbH won the TLME Innovation Award in the Air Cargo Automation category in Dubai. The Transport & Logistics Middle East industry platform bestowed the award on the manufacturer of warehouse and industrial trucks for the DIMOS INTRAC, the automated pallet mover for efficient ULD handling.
The TLME Innovation Award 2022 is one of the most prestigious logistics awards in the Arab region. And this year, DIMOS triumphed in the "Most Innovative Automation Solution Provider - Air Cargo" category with its INTRAC pallet mover solution. The award is presented to companies that develop automation solutions for the air freight industry and ultimately help to speed up operational processes and make them more efficient.
INTRAC: a New Generation of Autonomous Cargo Handling Systems
DIMOS designed INTRAC to enable the automated transport of air freight containers, and the pallet mover has succeeded in implementing an unprecedented level of automation in end-to-end freight handling. The vehicle autonomously transports ULDs in the terminal, arranging storage and staging areas in advance and storing the load carriers in a flexible area if required. In combination with other vehicles from the DIMOS air cargo portfolio, INTRAC enables completely flexible use of the terminal space. This allows air cargo tasks to be processed efficiently. The system was introduced at the end of 2021 as a pilot project at one of the largest German airport operators.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
"A big thank you goes to the entire DIMOS team – both in Germany and in the United Arab Emirates", says Pascal Schütz, head of sales and development at DIMOS. Together with other members of the team, Pascal Schütz was able to accept the award in person in Dubai. "Without our commitment, teamwork and passion, we would not be holding this award in our hands", he continues. The Petersberg family business has 90 employees, 15 of whom are based in Dubai. DIMOS has been carrying out projects in Dubai–especially in the air cargo sector–since 1999. And since this year, the company has also been taking care of orders and customers from its own local branch.
