Experts in computational load control


The load planning problem of airplanes consists of distributing the load items over the available transportation bays in such a way that all of the regulations are satisfied. Moreover, to minimize costs the distribution should be optimized. For widebody freighters the load planning problem is complex due to the relatively large number of possible distributions to be considered.

Key Codes has developed a mathematical algoritm, LoadCode, to calculate optimized load plans for widebody freighters. LoadCode allows load controllers to produce highly optimized load plans in a very short time.

  • optimal Center of Gravity; saving fuel costs up to 1%
  • minimal re-load issues; saving ground handling costs
  • extremely fast; saving load planning costs
  • minimize climate violations
  • comply with aircraft, airline and IATA dangerous goods regulations

Test runs with LoadCode for several hundreds of realized freighter flights have demonstrated that LoadCode is robust and efficient.
