“All flights begin on the ground.” As passengers, we mostly see it as a positive experience. Everything is perfect, well-organized, controlled and supervised in several steps, but in real life on the ground, especially in aircraft ground handling, things are more complicated. 

In general, airport ground handling workers, changing from time to time, do not identify with their work equipment, so it is not the owner’s perspective that guides their use of the vehicles. Therefore, these vehicles must meet the highest security and operational safety standards and must operate independently of their actual operator. This is why operating entities are looking for possible solutions for automated safety and the digital airports of the future.   

Various manufacturers, with vehicles designed for a variety of specific work areas, are carrying out repetitive operations over large areas on constantly changing tracks and several times in succession. There are specific digital fleet management solutions for the safe operation, continuous tracking and monitoring of these vehicles in critical areas.
