ADR opts for Softech IoT system
Softech’s G-Smart GSE tracking system combines RFID, Bluetooth, ADS-B, and GPS technologies to create a customized solution for this application. Specifically, the system utilizes RFID technology to identify and count baggage trolleys at storage stations (bays) in Terminals T1 and T3. The goal is to reduce operational inefficiencies.
Operators can monitor a large number of assets simultaneously, thanks to this efficient system. Softech’s IoT infrastructure includes readers, antennas, and over 5,000 RFID tags directly applied to the trolleys (mounted to avoid signal interference from ferrous material). Real-time data is displayed on a georeferenced map, and a warning system alerts operators if the trolley count in a bay falls below the minimum threshold. Additionally, the web-based software allows users to view and export trolley movement history between areas, facilitating benchmarking and performance analysis.
Softech plans to enhance G-Smart by estimating the required number of trolleys based on passenger and baggage flow, connecting the tracking system to ADR management systems.
