Can you please paraphrase this?

Some of the costs involved with the warehousing of parts can be the cost of the facility, manpower, office equipment, and transportation costs. The facility itself can be expensive for the operator, especially at an airport Operators could choose to rent or purchase depending on the location and what works for them. Manpower is another huge expense. Employees must staff the facility to issue out parts and work inventory. Operators could choose to hire direct or use contractors. As for office equipment computers and scanning devices would be needed to track inventory and issue out parts. Finally, for the transportation costs, parts need to get to the warehouse, so someone must pay to have them shipped. Operators could work out a deal to have multiple parts shipped together to save money on shipping. If the warehouse is for an airline operators could use their own aircraft to ship parts back and forth. Large companies can work out significant shipping discounts with UPS or FedEx depending on the volume they are shipping. Rigid containers would be the most appropriate for use in the aviation industry. Rigid containers protect the cargo and help with handling. Rigid containers are used in cargo loading on aircraft. They load the baggage into the containers, weigh them and load the containers into the cargo bay. Not only does the rigid container protect the cargo it also helps protect the aircraft from cargo damaging the bay. Non-rigid devices like pallets can be useful but do not protect the cargo. They can be used to ship oddly shaped devices that can be strapped down to the pallet. An example could be an aircraft jack. It may not fit in the rigid container and can be strapped to the pallet. It is heavy and an odd shape so strapping it to a pallet makes loading easier. + I see lightweight materials being used more rather than aluminum. Carbon fiber and other composites are being used more in the aviation industry. Not only are they lighter but they are also strong. They are being used in aircraft manufacturing and in container shipping. Composite shipping containers with solar power panels are also being used to transport medical drugs to keep them cool Swiss Airtainer developed a product this year and should hit the market by the end of 2022. This could help change the way drugs are shipped. "According to the World Health Organization, nearly 50% of vaccines lose efficacy in transit via air or sea largely due to breaks in the cold chain" (Rice. 2022). These new containers that are self-powered by the solar panels could change the shipping games for sensitive cargo.
