Challenges for airports and airlines

The practical organization that is needed to successfully guide an aircraft from arrival to departure is complex. With coordinated systems at the gate, in the tower and on the airfield, it is possible to make this procedure run smoothly. However, these systems need to be carefully planned and designed before being implemented. Once in place, they also need regular maintenance and occasional repairs. There are two major challenges: first, the design of the systems must fit the needs of that particular airport or airline. Without proper planning the systems will not fulfill their task and it will be difficult to keep control of cost, the amount of people needed and what to expect. Once the systems have been implemented, the next challenge is to maintain the products without major interruptions in air traffic. Without preventive maintenance, the lifecycle expectancy of the systems might be significantly shortened, and if there is a need for a repair, it is crucial that the downtime is kept to a minimum. Some airports and airlines have their own service teams, but that is often both expensive and ineffective, since they only serve one airport.

Lack of service and maintenance can cause:

• Shortened life expectancy for the equipment

• Prolonged downtime due to repairs and replacement of spare parts

• Unnecessary delays

• Increased cost

Services and maintenance to support your systems

Preparation and installation

ADB SAFEGATE has a steadily growing and innovative services portfolio and its services start long before the installation of any products or systems. The base for all projects is a preparation phase, in which all the calculations and assessments are carried out in cooperation with the customer. With a tailor-made design that includes all details, the customer has everything under control: cost, required number of staff and equipment needed for the installation. When all the calculations have been finished, the selected products and systems can be installed swiftly and easily.

Maintenance

ADB SAFEGATE has a holistic approach to Services & Maintenance. The preparation and installation phases are followed by the maintenance phase, where the staff involved receives training, and preventive maintenance is carried out. Regular service of the products ensures that the systems are online and offering maximum availability to the runways and taxi ways at all times. Systems from ADB SAFEGATE are set up in such a way that maintenance and service can be carried out while these systems are still running, allowing for substantially decreased downtime.
