The global launch of CIND’s ContourCheck ULD modeling software is growing rapidly

• WFS, a SATS company, is expanding CIND’s ContourCheck system to key European hubs – Amsterdam Schiphol, London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle – and is scheduled to begin operations in early 2026.
• The rollout builds on successful deployments in Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Madrid and Toulouse, as part of WFS’s broader automation and digitalization strategy across its global network of 225 stations.
• ContourCheck digitally measures ULDs and provides airlines with verified 3D data and image reports confirming the units are airworthy, eliminating contour-related discharges and improving transparency.
• The technology enhances safety, efficiency and trust with airline partners, and sets “a new standard for improved air cargo handling,” said Jimmy Daniel Hansen, WFS senior vice president.

Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a SATS company, is introducing CIND’s ContourCheck system at its largest air cargo handling terminals in France, the Netherlands and the UK in the latest phase of its global rollout of digital ULD measurement technology.

The system will be operational at WFS operations at Amsterdam Schiphol, London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle airports in early 2026. This rollout is part of WFS’s strategy to use new automation and digital technologies to transform cargo handling across a combined global WFS/SATS network spanning 225 terminals in 27 countries, serving trade routes responsible for more than 50% of global air freight volume.

WFS became the first air cargo handler to implement CIND’s 3D modeling software in 2024, and now uses the technology daily at its handling terminals in Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Madrid and Toulouse.

In the fast-paced world of air freight, where speed cannot intersect with safety and security, CIND ContourCheck has achieved significant, measurable results for WFS and its airline partners. The benefits of this solution include enhanced data and transparency. For each flight, airlines receive a comprehensive digital report, complete with photos, providing digital proof that each unit is airworthy.

“CIND’s ContourCheck solution is an important step in our journey towards automation and digitalization. It allows us to digitally measure ULDs, ensuring that all ULDs are 100% fit to fly, providing valuable data, and helping us optimize cargo space.” None of the ULDs created with ContourCheck were unloaded due to contour issues. This not only builds trust, but also allows airlines that partner with WFS to improve their operations. “Our close collaboration with CIND has been key to adapting the system to our needs,” said Jamie Daniel Hansen, senior vice president of operational excellence at WFS.

“WFS sees its partnership with CIND as a powerful example of how a focused technology solution can solve real-world logistics challenges. By replacing a manual, data-poor process with a real-time digital system, WFS is setting a new standard for efficiency and improvement in the air freight industry,” he added.
