Zebra Enterprise Solutions (ZES), a division of Zebra Technologies
(Nasdaq:ZBRA), today announced the completion of the first phase of
Singapore Airport Terminal Services’ project to optimize the use of its
ground service equipment (GSE) at Changi Airport.
Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS), with more than 60 years of
operating experience and an emerging global presence, is Singapore's
leading provider of airport services and food solutions. SATS looked to
deploy a telematics system at the Singapore Changi Airport to optimize
vehicle planning, reduce maintenance and fuel costs, and enhance driver
safety by using real-time data. SATS worked with ZES on a three-month
pilot program to deploy Airport Visualiser to meet a stipulated set of
key performance indicators and installed Infoman hardware in more than
300 GSE. The Airport Visualiser not only helps SATS to easily monitor
and manage vehicles in real-time on the Airport Map, but also supports
SATS in its day-to-day decision making with graphical analysis of
equipment data.
ZES also implemented driver identification to meet SATS´ request for
better safety and security. Maintenance cycles were changed from fixed
to engine hour-based intervals, not only helping to increase
availability of vehicles, but also reducing maintenance costs. By
monitoring the run time of vehicle engines, SATS is now able to identify
the engine idling time, and eliminate unnecessary engine hours, in-turn
having a major impact on fuel consumption.
Finally, ZES installed a Geofencing Feature to address SATS’ concerns
regarding the assignment of vehicles to defined areas. The feature helps
optimize operations and increase safety on the airport apron by
preventing GSE from entering the runway or operating in restricted
areas, ensuring equipment is only operated within specified zones.
"SATS is a world-class customer and it is an invaluable experience for
the ZES team to work with such a leading company,” said Simon Lotter,
General Manager for ZES GmbH Singapore Branch. "We are honoured that
SATS has chosen us as their supplier and look forward to a continued
cooperative and successful relationship.”
