G-SMART evolves: now with AI Video Analytics for sensor-free tracking

Already installed at the international airports of Milan Malpensa and Rome Fiumicino, our advanced tracking system G-SMART is taking another major step forward with the integration of AI-powered video analytics.

G-SMART is an intelligent tracking system designed for airports to monitor Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and baggage carts in real time. By collecting and analyzing operational data, it helps optimize resource management, improve ramp efficiency, reduce time and costs, and ensure greater safety and control over vehicle movements.

Until now, G-SMART has combined RFID, Bluetooth and GPS technologies to ensure reliable and efficient tracking of GSE and baggage carts.

With the addition of video analytics, the system achieves an even higher level of accuracy, automation and reliability, while significantly reducing maintenance needs.

What is video analytics and why it matters

Video analytics uses artificial intelligence algorithms to process and interpret data from video streams.
By detecting objects, patterns and behaviours, the technology enables real-time insights and faster, smarter decisions.

In the airport environment, this translates into:

• Enhanced operational control with real-time trolley tracking

• Faster response to operational bottlenecks

• Improved operational efficiency through continuous, automated monitoring

• Lower management costs thanks to reduced manual intervention and maintenance requirements

How the upgraded G-SMART works

The upgraded system features intelligent cameras installed in strategic locations near baggage trolley collection areas.
These cameras capture real-time images, which are analysed by AI-powered software capable of:

• Detecting and tracking trolleys automatically

• Counting and locating them

• Providing up-to-date availability data

All information is displayed in an intuitive user interface, offering a clear, real-time overview and enabling quick operational decisions.

Benefits of AI-Powered G-SMART tracking for airports

With the new video analytics integration, G-SMART:

• Improves tracking precision and reliability

• Reduces maintenance and operational effort

• Simplifies equipment management

• Enhances the passenger experience

A new benchmark for smart airport tracking

By combining RFID, Bluetooth, GPS and now AI-driven video analytics, G-SMART strengthens its position as one of the most advanced tracking solutions for GSE and baggage trolleys in the airport industry.
