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.
