Ground Radar
Empowering Seamless Collaboration for
Effortless Turnarounds
Incorporating advanced Video Analytics, AI, IoT, and Mobility, ZestIOT’s Ground Radar transcends the boundaries of aviation operations.
This transformative technology allows Airlines, Airports, and Ground Handlers to collaborate effectively, leading to a harmonious blend of safety, efficiency, and speed. The result is not only an efficient turnaround but also a delightful passenger experience, setting transformational standards in the aviation industry.
ZestIOT’s Ground Radar Connected Operations is a cutting edge solution with powerful Camera AI/ IoT that monitors and analyses ground activity on a real time basis. Gathering data on a real time basis helps predict and provide solutions for ETA and Target off Block time. The AI model enhances Operations service experience assisting in optimal allocation of resources.
Unlocking Seamless Connectivity
Ground Radar Connected Operations Platform delivers the following
IoT Telemetry
Enable equipment with IoT sensors to auto capture of turnaround milestone timings.
Real-time motorable/non-motorable equipment Tracking: Precise location tracking of ME/NME GSE units on the airport map.
Identify equipment parked in the wrong location promptly.
Over Speeding Enhance safety by curbing excessive speeds on the apron.
Providing insights into ideal timing, geofencing, improper parking, speeding incidents, trip/duty records, distance travelled, engine operation, and more.
Keeping track of equipment profiles, maintenance schedules, breakdown alerts, and serviceability status.
Monitoring fuel consumption and optimising usage for cost-effective operations.
