Summary
After a plane crash caused by a plane's unbalanced cargo load, a major logistics corporation chooses to print the cargo weight on labels, guaranteeing the plane's weight is within safe standards.

The Cognitive Solution
Some time ago, a cargo plane crashed in Los Angeles killing the crew and destroying the plane and all contents. The cause of the crash, it was quickly discovered, was due to a series of miscalculations concerning the weight of the large cargo crates loaded on the plane. The load was unbalanced and the plane could not take off correctly, plunging to the earth minutes after take-off.

This terrible accident served as a wake-up call for one logistics corporation for whom next day shipping and time-definite air freight are a way of life. Previously, air cargo containers, called "cans," were put on a scale and the weight was written by hand on the outside of the can. Sloppy handwriting may have been one cause for the plane crash. A better solution was needed immediately.

Cognitive provided a Direct Thermal Blaster Advantage printer that communicates directly with the cargo can's weigh scale. The printer prints a barcode, destination, date and container weight clearly and in large letters. The warehouse worker applies the label to the can where it can be read by airport personnel loading the can on the plane. The logistics corporation chose a durable and inexpensive direct thermal Cognitive media to withstand abrasions and scratches endured during transit. Cognitive provided an ideal method of keeping the skies safe and the packages delivered on time for this billion-dollar corporation.

Cognitive recognizes the growing need to provide solutions for increasingly complex supply chain management projects. Cognitive provides printing solutions that enable manufacturing operations, product distribution and inventory management faster, more efficiently and more cost-effectively than ever. From time-definite transportation operations to manufacturing, industrial, retail and government customers, Cognitive printing solutions fit the (air) bill.
