MAC Air Cargo Data Entry: 1. Preliminary Analysis of Alternative Modes,
Abstract
This report discusses means of facilitating the entry of shipping data about cargo unloaded at the truck docks of MAC air cargo terminals. Use of a portable handheld keypad/display device for on-line entry to a computer would seem to promise improvements in data handling. Several off-line modes might also prove useful for this application, including digital recording, image capture by photography or video techniques, and use of a manual checksheet. A test program is recommended to determine which of these alternative data entry modes warrant further consideration. (Author)
