Apron Management System
Today, many airports struggle with silo operations and uncoordinated processes trying to handle heavy air traffic. It often leads to errors, delays, and poor passenger experience.
The key to proper flight schedule adherence and happy customers is the digitalization of the apron. The need of the hour is an efficient system that would help automatically manage aircraft ground operations.
Challenge
Solution
The system:
- Automatically records the aircraft turnaround process;
- Checks if the turnaround time adheres to the schedule;
- Detects and tracks anomalies;
- Performs complex behavioral analysis;
- Integrates timestamps into wearables to keep ramp agents up to date with the progress;
- Identifies efficiency, safety, and security issues in real time, ensuring quick responsive actions;
- Can be integrated with the existing A-CDM.
Project Results
Our Apron Management System helps airport operators achieve:
- Real-time visibility into apron operations;
- Streamlined turnaround;
