Preparation of a flight requires multiple synchronized logistic flows of equipment and personnel. Handling equipment of different sizes and shapes, baggage carts, chassis, ULDs, tractors and other specialized equipment must converge in sync for a flawless aircraft service supply.
Lack of time and sometimes lack of space lead staff to mix equipment in dozens of staging areas. To service a flight, staff members travel miles across the airport to search visually for equipment in each staging and/or parking areas. In mid-size airports, dozens of workers spend 45 minutes each, per shift, to search for equipment. These manual searches are a direct waste of $ 8 000 USD per day for baggage handling companies.
With Purelink location products, there is no need to search. Once chassis, baggage carts, containers, loaders, tractors are associated with a Purelink tag; baggage handlers can instantly identify where to go to pick the right equipment. No visual search any more, they just look at a screen on the wall to locate reusable containers, material maintenance, pallets, mules, cleaning equipment, carts, container loaders and other equipment.
Deployed as a service platform to assist airport customers, Purelink’s location system delivers Location Service to instantly locate equipment in both staging and parking areas.
