EDITORIAL!
As a system provider for theair ­cargo sector, it is important torecognise customer requirements
and to translate them into a­functional and coordinated system.
By doing so, the customer benefits
from having just one expert at theirside, instead of having to reachout to many individual companies.

But what does process planning look like in detail, from consultation toexecution, for leading manufacturers of air cargo solutions?
Customers in the air cargo sector are increasingly relying on system providers
instead of working with many individual companies. This is because a systemprovider optimally coordinates all the steps required for the implementation ofa project. For the customer, this means above all that it has only one long-term
contact for the entire process – starting with planning and execution and ending
with after sales service. This guarantees immediate and direct communication
between customer and supplier.

Accordingly, a full-service expert
with decades of experience does notdeliver combined components, but anintegral solution taking into accountthe process, function and customer-­
specific internal procedures.

International manufacturers of­special purpose vehicles for theair cargo sector are also awarethat the strategic orientation andplanned growth of the customer
must be an integral part of theplanning and realisation.

G mb HuFounde

The family-owned company based inPetersberg near Fulda provides fourwaytrucks, reach mast trucks, order picking­systems and compact trucks as well as
heavy-duty platform transporters for­transporting a wide variety of loads.
The company, which was founded in 1993,
also supplies die handlers.

In 2004, DIMOS developed the X-Way
Mover for major international airports.
The multi-functional vehicle is designedto IATA standard and is currently usedby four of the ten largest air cargo­companies in the world.

6SOLUTIONSFOR ULD­HANDLING
AT AIRPORTS
Preparing goods and products at the air freight terminal forair ­transport is complex:
Goods have to be transported quickly and safely as part of airport
logistics. It is also important to meet a wide variety of requirements interms of weight, transport safety, speed and temperature sensitivity.
In order to optimally load aircraft, cargo is bundled in unit load devices(ULDs). ULDs are made up of pallets and containers, allowing forthe easy transport of goods and products in large quantities.
Numerous vehicles are used in airport logistics for the handling,­storage and transport of these ULDs.

As a system supplier,
DIMOS offers various
solutions to optimise
the process of
ULD handling at
the airport.

Fast and safe
air freight handling

A single vehicle for a variety ofrequirements and tasks

ULD pallet mover

The problem: With conventional
equipment, an empty hall must be
designed for maximum use. In timesof growing demand, this requires­significant investments. Space andequipment are at a premium in an­airport environment.

Truck dock Elevatingtransfer vehicles
ULD moverTransfer vehicles

X-Way-Mover from DIMOSThe solution: Since it is equipped to perform all of
the necessary container movements in the hall, theX-Way-Mover and corresponding product range uses
existing hall space particularly effectively. This meansthat a high throughput volume can be achieved with­little equipment and the investment remains proportional
to the target freight revenue.

8PROJECTS &­SYSTEMS
Flexible system replaces
conventional air cargo technology

DIMOS is an established supplier of logistics vehicles. This also includes very
­innovative vehicles for the air cargo sector. In order to satisfy customers in the­airport sector, it must be possible to integrate these vehicles into the existing­processes and operational requirements.

VisionCreating efficient and­innovative products basedon the air freight processes
and thus designing futureproof systems.

Accumulated knowledge:
Expert from process planningto execution

DIMOS has acquired
knowledge of air cargo
processes over manyyears and is now­consolidating this­knowledge to form the“project & systems” unit.
In doing so, DIMOS has
established itself as
the point of contact for­vehicle and systemdevelopment solutionsin the freight transport
sector.

Everything from a­single source –­flexible, individual
and process-oriented!

ADVICE AND
PLANNING

The customer’s aims and­aspirations regarding environment,
turnover, throughput and­investment are translated into
­reliable, ergonomic and efficientsystems that grow withthe customer.

3STATIC AND
DYNAMIC­S IMULATION

Throughput figures are verified forthe layout, component properties and­performance are checked and system
quantities are adjusted. The static­simulation is used as a basis, andthe dynamic simulation forms
the benchmark.

DESIGNThe sturdy design of the­components creates a solid­foundation for the subsequent systems.
DIMOS designs and manufactures
its products in-house. With moreunconventional designs, it is essential
to apply lessons learned in orderto save time and effort.

411IN-HOUSEPRODUCTION
AND FINAL ASSEMBLY

Mechanics, electrics and control units aredesigned and implemented in-house.
Component selection and testing,­circuit planning and p­ rogramming are­prepared and verified by in-house­simulation and ­emulation.

5PROJECT AND
SITE MANAGEMENT

The commissioning and acceptance of the system
is carried out according to a procedure defined withthe customer. Not only should it be recognised whether
all functions of the system are functioning as expected,
but the customer should also be made aware of the­technical connections of the system, which ensure­optimal use and error prevention.
The training of the operating and maintenance­personnel also takes place during installationof the system with the involvementof the customer

SUPPORT
AND SERVICE

6The cooperation between suppliers
and users of systems and components­carries on for many years after theproject process. DIMOS provides its
own first level support as well as service,
documentation for maintenance(preventive and planned)
and repairs.
