Insights

Supply chain technology analyst

Delta Cargo’s Pulse rollout with Trackonomy upgrades real-time gate-level visibility and proactive alerts across major U.S. airports.

Pulse links Trackonomy's Sentient Platform to Delta Cargo operations to deliver gate-level location intelligence, proactive disruption alerts, and autonomous interventions; the system uses Cargo IQ-compliant feeds and third-party flight data to produce real-time status and predictive recovery insights.

Operational benefits depend on sensor coverage, data quality, and station rollout; current activation for DASH and DASH Critical at named U.S. stations and import-only sites shows immediate scope but not full network coverage, so reliability gains will vary by airport and shipment class.

Watch adoption and scale over the next 6–18 months from Nov. 11, 2025 as more stations enable Pulse, monitor metrics such as reduction in dwell time and alert-to-resolution intervals, and confirm that the plug-and-play deployment maintains data fidelity when integrated into live ramp operations.

Cutting-edge technology delivers proactive alerts and gate-level accuracy to transform air cargo operations

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Trackonomy, a global leader in Physical AI and smart logistics solutions, today announced its collaboration with Delta Cargo, the air freight division of Delta Air Lines, to power the newly launched Pulse platform, marking a major leap forward in shipment transparency and operational reliability across the aviation industry.

Pulse harnesses Trackonomy's next-generation visibility technology to provide Delta's clients with real-time location intelligence from airport to airport through a reimagined digital experience. The platform proactively alerts Delta Cargo's operations teams of potential disruptions before they impact performance, enabling faster response, reduced delays, and improved customer confidence.

"Pulse represents a major leap forward in how cargo moves through our network," said Andy Kirschner, Director of Americas Sales, Delta Cargo. "By leveraging Trackonomy's advanced visibility and AI-driven alerting technology, we're able to not just identify issues before they happen but at times resolve them autonomously, so every shipment moves with greater reliability and confidence. It's just one more way we're making it easier to do business with Delta Cargo."

Built on Trackonomy's proven aviation-grade technology, Pulse is orchestrated by Trackonomy's Sentient Platform, a dynamic ERP layer that integrates Delta's Cargo IQ-compliant data, real-time flight information, and third-party sources such as FlightAware to enable predictive analytics and autonomous intervention. This distributed, agent-based system extends a digital shield across airport operations, including gateways, solar-equipped tugs, ULDs, and belt-loader-mounted sensors, creating a connected, self-optimizing network in an area where every second counts during aircraft turnaround.

The system enables gate-level cargo visibility, real-time status updates, and predictive recovery insights, creating a seamless flow of data from ramp to cloud. Its plug-and-play deployment eliminates complex integrations and scales easily across airports, introducing a new standard of intelligent tracking for air freight.

"Our collaboration with Delta Cargo continues to set new benchmarks for the logistics industry," said Erik Volkerink, CEO of Trackonomy. "Through Pulse and our Sentient Platform, we're bringing distributed Physical AI and predictive analytics directly into the hands of airline teams and clients—turning every shipment and airport operation into a source of actionable intelligence."

Pulse is currently active for DASH and DASH Critical shipments at Pulse-enabled stations across the United States, including Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), Detroit (DTW), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Honolulu (HNL), New York–JFK (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX), New York–LaGuardia (LGA), Miami (MIA), Orlando (MCO), Minneapolis–Saint Paul (MSP), Chicago (ORD), Seattle (SEA), San Francisco (SFO), Salt Lake City (SLC), and Tampa (TPA). Pulse is also available for import only in Cincinnati (CVG), Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW), and Raleigh–Durham (RDU).
