PTE, LONDON. At Passenger Terminal Expo 2019 in London, Mark Abson from ADB SAFEGATE Airport Systems explained the APEX Solutions and how they can help airports optimize operations. This Day-of-Operations focused platform makes collaborative decision making a reality, providing information at the point of decision to help all stakeholders make better decisions and act on them effectively.


A large number of airports today are finding it a challenge to handle the increase in air traffic and passenger growth. Overburdened and often outdated infrastructure, capacity and resource constraints, as well as the high workload of airport staff are putting pressure on all stakeholders in the airport ecosystem. This pressure is often compounded by silo based working practices. Whether it’s harnessing and consolidating data from various systems to improve overall situational awareness and improve collaboration, or using Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) to optimize the turnaround process, the goal for many airports remains the same – operational excellence.

Airport Systems Airport Performance Expert (AS-APEX) Airport Systems’ Airport Performance Expert (AS-APEX) consists of modules for Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM), Situational Awareness and Advanced Analytics. The solutions can help put an end to silo based management and APEX is all about collaboration and bringing information together to make decisions good for the airport rather than only good for an individual department.

Through both historic data and current data, APEX gives the airport the ability to analyze the current situation and therefore the airport can make valued judgments on key factors like delays. APEX helps the airport to get the real picture of where the problems are in the airport and what the actual causes are. The solution gives the airport far more control of their environment.
