Successful implementation of Air KSDA in lbase

The implementation of Air KSDA in the logistics industry offers numerous advantages, particularly in terms of the safety and efficiency of air freight. We have introduced this successful implementation at a satisfied customer.

KSDA means in air freight: Die Supply Chain Security Database of the Union (KSDA)
ensures that only secure air freight is transported by checking and updating the security status of "Known Consignors (KC)" and "Regulated Agents (RA)".

1. Understanding the KSDA database

The KSDA database is a centralised register containing information on KC and RA. This database ensures that air freight originates from trustworthy sources and does not have to undergo any further security checks as long as the secure supply chain is guaranteed until it is loaded onto the aircraft.

2. Seamless integration and continuous updating of the KSDA database

In order to use Air KSDA effectively, seamless integration of the database into existing logistics and IT systems or lbase is crucial. This integration enables automatic verification of sender and loading addresses as well as real-time updating of the security status. At the same time, continuous maintenance of the KSDA database by the EU Commission and daily access via an LI logic interpreter ensures that all information is always up to date. In particular, this includes the regular checking and updating of the security status of "Known Consignors (KC)" and "Regulated Agents (RA)" in order to ensure high data quality and compliance with legal requirements.

3. Training and sensitisation

Employees should be fully trained to understand the features and benefits of Air KSDA. This includes the use of the database to check shipments and the importance of compliance with safety regulations.

4. Automated processes

By automating the verification processes, errors can be minimised and efficiency increased. As soon as a consignment is saved in lbase, the user can decide whether the sender or the loading address should be checked in the KSDA. If a match is found, a response is received in lbase with the address and the validity date.

5. Documentation and tracking

For official inspections, a service request is created at consignment level in the form of an air waybill with the corresponding scan result. This enables seamless tracking and documentation of the security status of consignments.

6. Some advantages of using KSDA in lbase

  • Increased security: Guarantee that only safe air freight is transported.
  • Increased efficiency: Automated processes reduce manual effort and speed up processing.
  • Compliance: Compliance with legal safety regulations and minimisation of risks.

Conclusion

The successful implementation of Air KSDA in the logistics sector in lbase requires careful planning and integration into existing systems. By training employees, automating processes and continuously updating the database, the safety and efficiency of air freight can be significantly improved.
