The Situation

Airports rely heavily on ground support equipment like tugs and dollies to handle baggage, cargo, and other essential services. With vast airport grounds and numerous pieces of equipment, it's challenging to monitor the location and usage of each asset effectively.

The Challenge

Untracked tugs and dollies can lead to operational inefficiencies, equipment loss, increased maintenance costs, and safety hazards. Ground crews may waste time searching for equipment, and unplanned downtime can disrupt airport operations.

The Solution

Our vTrack™ system provides real-time tracking of both powered (tugs) and unpowered (dollies and carts) ground support equipment. By equipping each asset with GPS and RFID technology, our solution offers:

• Real-time Location Tracking: Monitor the exact location of tugs and dollies across the airport.
• Asset Utilization Analytics: Analyze usage patterns to optimize fleet size and deployment.
• Automatic Coupling Detection: Identify when tugs connect or disconnect from dollies.
• Maintenance Alerts: Receive notifications for scheduled maintenance or potential issues.
• Integration Capabilities: Seamlessly integrate with existing airport management systems.

Benefits

• Operational Efficiency: Reduce downtime by quickly locating equipment and streamlining operations.
• Cost Reduction: Minimize loss and damage of equipment, lowering replacement and repair costs.
• Safety Enhancement: Prevent unauthorized use of equipment and reduce accidents on the tarmac.
• Data-Driven Decisions: Utilize analytics to make informed decisions about asset management.
• Improved Scheduling: Optimize equipment dispatch based on real-time data.
