Abstract

This relates to a System and a method for determining weight of freight units and baggage. Such a system comprises a Unit Load Device (ULD), an internal system of the Unit Load Device (ULD) and a digital memory unit, wherein the internal system is configured for retrieving individual identification and weight data of items within the Unit Load Device (ULD), for calculating a gross weight of the Unit Load Device (ULD) by summing the individual weight data of the items together with empty weight data of the Unit Load Device (ULD) and for storing a list of all identified items based on the identification data as well as the calculated gross weight of the Unit Load Device (ULD) in the digital memory unit.
