From Runway to Real-Time: Data Lands on the Airport Ramp — We Talk IoT #89

Airports run on machines many passengers don’t even notice. Tugs, loaders, de-icing truck, hundreds of vehicles are moving across the tarmac every hour. If only one gets it wrong, the cost is not just downtime, it’s safety.

Matthias Moulinier, VP of Product and Customer Success at Adveez, explains how connected ground support equipment (GSE) is changing life on the ramp. He walks us through the system that tracks who drives what, when and how. From badge-scan access control to automatic speed reductions when a seatbelt is not engaged.

We explore how airports balance their fleets in summer and winter seasons, and how data helps operators avoid over-buying equipment. We talk electrification, autonomous GSE and what you learn from tracking more than 30.000 vehicles across 280 airports.
