A spinoff from TUMCREATE, Speedcargo was officially incorporated in June 2020, following a successful R&D journey that began in 2016. Headquartered in Singapore with teams in India and the United States, Speedcargo is revolutionising the air cargo industry by digitalising and automating cargo handling processes to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving and complex world. Its solutions are catered for airlines, ground handlers, and freight forwarders through the use of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI).

Speedcargo’s platform creates digital cargo models, applies proprietary spatial optimisation algorithms, and automates warehouse handling to efficiently solve the complex challenge of safely loading aircraft. This enables users to maximise capacity utilisation, enhance operational efficiency, and minimise their carbon footprint.

The technology was developed in response to an industry requirement for an automated pallet build-up and break-down solution. This was initiated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). The project received funding from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) through the Aviation Challenge Grant and was curated by major stakeholders, including Singapore Airlines, SATS, dnata, and SAAA at Changi Airport. Success in the first phase led to additional funding from the National Research Foundation under the Central Gap Program, focused on technology transfer and product development for Changi Airfreight Center in partnership with SATS. Between 2018 and 2020, the team developed the technology into operational and commercially viable products.

The company plays an active role in shaping the future of the air cargo industry. It is strongly committed to supporting the transformative vision for Changi Airport, with a particular focus on the development of Terminal 5. Over the years, Speedcargo has worked closely with key stakeholders to develop cutting-edge technologies and support the training of the next generation of air cargo professionals.
