ASIG data management system
Managing the complexity of an airside business that supports hundreds of flights a day at more than 70 of the world’s largest airports requires innovative ways of working and the smart use of technology as well as the hard work and commitment of staff.
‘
Customers rely on ASIG to provide a high quality range of ground handling services that are reliable, efficient and value for money. Streamlining processes, accurately reporting and reducing or eliminating the margin of error enhances our reputation with customers and consolidates our position as an industry leader on the ramp.’
Keith P. Ryan, President, ASIG
In 2009, ASIG introduced a data management system to its ground equipment fuelling activities at 3 major airports in the US: Los Angeles International (LAX), Chicago O' Hare (ORD) and Philadelphia International (PHL). ASIG refuels over 2,000 pieces of its own and customer ground equipment at these locations daily, from tugs to belt loaders to hydrant trucks, many more than once.
ASIG's mobile technology links, via a handheld device, the equipment being fuelled to ASIG's proprietary fuel management database system, ensuring the correct fuel is provided and accurately reporting management information direct to the customer via their online interface.
The technology prevents the misfuelling of equipment, allows for real time inventory management and automatically creates accounting data - meaning ASIG operators can just get on with the job.
At the end of 2010, the system had been introduced at four more ASIG locations, including Denver International Airport (DEN) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and is used on over 6,500 pieces of equipment. Six more airports in the ASIG US network will be upgraded in 2011.
