31.03.2014

Pioneer in the country, the project will bring new and state-of-art tools in order to meet Campinas airport features

Aeroportos Brasil Viracopos Concessionaire Company has contracted viastore systems to develop and install the new Cargo Terminal Management System at Aeroporto Internacional de Viracopos. The pioneering project in the country will be entirely customized in order to meet the Airport needs.

With investments of R$ 9 million, the contract foresees the implementation of a Warehouse Management System (WMS), a new Customs Management System, and a Billing System (taxes and billing), which will all work in a completely seamless way. The new systems shall be up and running in 14 months.

WMS, which comprises viastore, Trust AS, and Thomson Reuters modules, is a modern and efficient software package for managing and controlling the entire intralogistics system. The new system is able to identify the best storage location for each cargo type and volume arriving at the terminal, which allows for optimizing spaces and maximizing operational efficiency.

“Viracopos new WMS will provide us with more security in the cargo storage, significant gains in the logistics process throughput, improvement for customer’s cargo processing tracking, and improved compliance with effective laws, as the system shall have a more efficient Customs control”, says Luiz Alberto Küster Viracopos CEO. “This shall improve the quality of the services rendered to customers and inspection agencies”, continues Mr. Küster.

In order to monitor the product flow in an efficient manner, WMS systems use Auto ID Data Capture technologies, with bar codes, mobiles, and wireless local networks. The collected data is unified in a database and in real-time, offering an overall view of the warehouse status.

“Viracopos is a very important project for us in Brazil, which is very outstandingly for us. Our objective is to make it into the model cargo airport in the country”, celebrates Paulo Franceschini, viastore systems Brazil President.

By implementing the system at Viracopos, the logistics efficiency shall be higher, allowing for more competitiveness, cost reduction, and innovative and differentiated services. With WMS, the airport expects to control the movement of 20 thousand volumes a day, and manage 230 users per working shift in an 80 thousand square meter-warehouse. “Another point that we are very proud of is the fact that we can contribute to the development of Campinas Metropolitan Region, a region where viastore is located as well”, completes Mr. Franceschini.
