Faster, safer turnarounds
The apron is where the action is
ADB SAFEGATE applies the latest automation, integration and digital technologies to manage today’s complex challenges on the apron, making way for the next big performance gains for airports and airlines.
Our intelligent, automated solutions help you:
- Ensure airside safety
- Shorten turnaround times to improve on-time performance
- Increase predictability of operations
- Use resources more effectively
- Maximize revenue and reduce operational costs
- Proactively manage environmental impact of apron operations
- Stay operational in all weather conditions
Beyond digital. Intelligent.
Our Intelligent AiPRON operational platform brings a holistic, intelligent approach to managing apron activities from landing to takeoff. We’ve integrated the systems and processes important to apron operations into a single ecosystem that uses machine learning technologies to optimize taxiing, docking and pushback procedures and improve the efficiency and elasticity of ground handling operations as a whole.
The technology focuses on an augmented intelligence, human-centered operational model, to constantly analyze data in real-time to improve decision making, mitigate irregularities and create recommendations to stay on the critical path to on-time performance.
Developed in close collaboration with our customers, our Intelligent AiPRON portfolio includes five add-on software modules that are easy to deploy via a unified web portal:
AiPRON Manager (formerly SafeControl Apron Management)
Collects and presents real-time intelligence for apron operational performance.
