We’re thrilled to share that since May, with Fraport AG, we have successfully upgraded several T1 Docking Guidance Systems to our advanced Safedock X systems at Frankfurt International Airport, further building on the airport’s excellence.

Setting a new standard for safety, efficiency, and turnaround processes

This ambitious transformation project aims to replace 117 T1 systems with our advanced Safedock X, setting a new standard for safety, efficiency, and turnaround processes. As of now, 39 state-of-the-art systems have been successfully installed, amidst the dynamic airport environment, during both day and night shifts.

The seamless progress reflects the synergy between Fraport AG and ADB SAFEGATE teams, alongside the invaluable support from international colleagues and our partners at Montum.

“The modernization of our docking guidance system during ongoing operations is a major challenge that the joint project team has mastered with flying colors so far. The joint tests with radar, AI, video and Gap-filler are also progressing very well, so that Fraport will be well equipped for the future.”, says Rainer Baier, Senior Project Manager Airside Systems Fraport AG.

We are committed to working with Fraport AG towards our goal of a complete Safedock X rollout, followed by the integration of an advanced Apron Management system. With every Safedock X unit installed, we edge closer to a future where Frankfurt stands as a beacon of innovation and efficiency in the global aviation landscape.
