Intelligent Stand Manager

Streamlining operations whilst maximising airside asset utilisation

Stand planning and management is an everyday logistical challenge for all busy airports.

Operational uncertainty creates an environment where airport teams are often forced to be reactive rather than proactive, negatively affecting the entire operation, creating delays, increasing costs and undermining passenger satisfaction.

Intelligent Stand Manager elevates your airport’s stand allocation capability, allowing you to transition from inflexible, static plans to a tactically responsive, continually improving stand allocation capability that automatically responds to real-time data and events.

A world-first tool developed by NATS and Searidge Technologies, Intelligent Stand Manager harnesses the power of artificial intelligence and complex algorithms. It produces daily optimised stand plans based on KPI preferences that are continually updated through the integration of multiple data sources, delivering a significant step-change in tactical airfield management.

Features and Benefit

Automated and continuously optimised stand plans considering all constraints and preferences, maximising airside assets and resources

Decades of operational experience drive sophisticated algorithms, limiting fuel burn, optimising staff allocation, and enhanced safety compliance

Advanced machine learning and historical data analysis optimises flight links, schedules, passenger experience, and carbon emissions

Powerful reporting capabilities focussed on airport KPI’s unlocks data-driven insights aligned to key performance metrics

What-if simulation of various airfield, terminal and schedule scenarios, boosting airport resilience while assuring operating costs and asset investments

Automated conflict resolution minimises wait times, enhancing environmental performance via fuel burn reduction, whilst easing ground and ATC workload
