Implementation of DG AUTO CHECK System for Dangerous Goods Acceptance at Thai Airways International Cargo Warehouse

Abstract

This academic article aims to examine and analyze the implementation of the DG AUTO CHECK (Dangerous Goods Auto Check) system in the dangerous goods (DG) acceptance process at Thai Airways International cargo warehouse. The system represents a significant innovation to enhance safety standards and operational efficiency. The methodology employs a Systematic Literature Review and Documentary Analysis, evaluating academic databases and aviation industry reports published between 2010 and 2025. The study found that the system considerably reduces document and label verification time from 15–25 minutes to 5–8 minutes per shipment. It also minimizes human error in dangerous goods inspection from 3.2% to 0.4%, aligning with the International Air Transport Association Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards, thereby increasing customer and logistics service provider confidence. Results indicate that applying digital technology to DG acceptance processes is highly effective and should be expanded to other airline cargo facilities.
