G-SMART: Milan Malpensa chooses our system for locating GSEs

Posted on by softech softech

G-SMART has been recognized as an effective solution, able to meet the needs of one of the busiest international airports in Europe which alone handles around 70% of the goods in transit at Italian airports.

After 20 years of collaboration on environmental matters, Milan Malpensa international airport chooses to expand our partnership by equipping itself with G-SMART, our intelligent tracking system dedicated to GSEs, the aerodrome support equipment for ground aircraft operations.

The wide range of activities associated with aircraft ground operations leads to an equally large fleet of GSEs deployed over a large area and often in widely separated locations.

For an international airport like Milan Malpensa, which alone handles about 70% of the total goods in transit through Italian airports, knowing the position of certain ground support equipments (in this case especially the dollys) becomes essential to guarantee the necessary level of efficiency and speed of loading and unloading activities of aircrafts.

G-SMART was developed to support and combine different technologies (including: RFID, Bluetooth, LoRaWAN, GPS, ADS-B, etc.) in order to offer the best performing solution in every situation. In the case of Milan Malpensa, the most performing technology was identified after careful listening and analysis of the customer’s needs; we opted for a system based on RFID technology, capable of locating a very large number of items scattered over an equally vast area without however requiring complex installations and/or high costs: thousands of passive tags have been installed on as many dolly and more than 10 antennas in specific points identified by our technical experts following a careful study of the area.

The specifically developed software, perfectly integrated with the pre-existing system, collects and makes available to the end user the information on location and transits including direction of travel and dolly’s details. The supply also includes installation and maintenance of the system by our technical experts.

GSE tracking is an activity of significant importance at an organizational and process efficiency level. The ability to combine different technologies and to integrate into existing systems entails a significant advantage for the customer who is able to acquire a performing solution without excessive infrastructural and/or cost commitment.

G-SMART is an effective solution, able to meet the needs of one of the busiest international airports in Europe which alone manages around 70% of the goods in transit at Italian airports.

The Data Service chosen to monitor noise during the most anticipated music event of the year!

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is a music festival held annually since 1999 in Indio, California during two weeks of April.
In the Colorado desert, about 127 miles from Los Angeles, the show takes place on the iconic fields of the Empire Polo Club and lasts an entire weekend. The festival features performances on 5 different stages with numerous sound systems.

With over 250,000 visitors from all over the world and the festivities that continue for 3 days until late at night, the city of Indio must guarantee entertainment for music lovers and tranquility for the local population; for this reason, for the past 10 years, it has made compliance with specific noise standards a condition for the realization of the festival.

For concerts and music festivals, the solution we offer is DATA SERVICE, an environmental monitoring service supplied complete with monitoring tools and cloud-based software, ideal for keeping noise levels under control in various contexts, especially temporary ones: DS is in fact can be delivered as a SAAS for short or long term tracking campaigns. For Coachella in particular we have installed 6 monitoring terminals around the festival area, which covers more than 600 acres of land; each of the terminals is equipped with class 1 PCB-Larson Davis sound level meters, the best choice to meet the performance criteria required by the situation. The noise data was collected and analyzed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the entire month of April and the information collected was displayed in real time on online cartography by the technicians in charge, who were able to intervene immediately where necessary alerted by automatic system alerts; the reports (standard and customized) that the DS system automatically generates ensured compliance with the permitted noise standards and were used when necessary by the festival organizers.

Noise monitoring must be conducted to ensure that conditions for obtaining a special event permit issued by the city of Indio are met; it is essential given the scope of the event, that the system is performing, reliable and designed to operate in such a context. Our solution has been recognized as reliable and suitable and we are happy to have taken part in the realization of the festival par excellence.
