With the current landscape increasingly focused on digitization, AODB solutions sit at the backbone of modern airport operations, playing a pivotal role in the transformation of the aviation landscape. As the single source of truth, these solutions harness the power of real-time data and seamlessly integrate the complex array of airport systems and processes.
Built using state-of-the-art technologies, SkyCore AODB is an integrated solution which provides real-time data integration on a collaborative platform with particular focus on predictive capabilities, intuitive user experience and seamless, flexible integration with an unlimited number of airport systems.
The dynamic needs and ambitions of digitally-driven airports represent a difficult challenge for existing AODB solutions and their static software architecture. This is where SkyCore AODB takes a significantly different and innovative approach: its cloud-based architecture provides an unprecedented level of scalability and accessibility, both crucial for streamlining the airport operational workflows. Given the current landscape of rapidly transforming airport operations, the cloud-based architecture of the solution along with its flexibility removes a critical, yet traditional requirement of existing AODB solutions: downtime windows for performing system upgrades. This is another operational aspect where SkyCore stands out: software upgrades are delivered in real-time, with zero disruption to live operations where users seamlessly access the latest version through regular data refreshes, allowing for agile implementation and quicker adoption of new features.
SkyCore: An innovative yet fully-featured AODB solution
Our emphasis on innovation enhances all the standard capabilities of SkyCore AODB and enables them to be managed individually, underlining the modularity of the application. SkyCore brings a comprehensive suite of features designed to streamline and enhance every facet of airport operations, some of which are highlighted below.
Real-time Data Integration: the AirportLabs Data Router, our data engine sitting at the core of SkyCore AODB, seamlessly integrates real-time data from various airport systems, providing stakeholders with real-time processing of all operational data. The sharing of data in real-time with a wide variety of stakeholders, whose access can be managed in the user management module of SkyCore, promotes informed decision-making and cross-functional collaboration between all parties involved in the management of airport operations.
Collaborative Platform: collaboration is key in streamlining airport operations and SkyCore provides a platform which fosters this among all airport stakeholders, including airlines, ground handlers, airport staff, authorities and any other relevant party. The A-CDM, AOP and user management modules enable SkyCore to be a centralised hub for communication, enabling synchronised operations in real-time and facilitating swift responses to unexpected operational changes or scenarios.
Predictive Capability: as the single source of truth, SkyCore has access to a very large volume of operational data and while reporting historical data is a key functionality which our solution also provides, predictive analytical capabilities are becoming a key element in the process of transforming digital operations and increasingly critical for any AODB solution. SkyCore provides exactly that: the dedicated AOP module along with its predictive features found in different parts of the application leverage the power of data analytics in order to provide predictive insights into potential disruptions and operational bottlenecks. By proactively identifying issues, airport staff can take preventive measures, minimising disruptions and enhancing operational efficiency.
User Experience: Lastly, the large volume of operational data passing through AODB solutions along with the static architecture of existing products on the market pose a difficult yet highly relevant challenge for the stakeholders and that is their user experience in managing this complex flow of operational data. This represents an important milestone in the process of streamlining operations and one of the main focus points in the development of our solution was to provide SkyCore with a user-friendly interface that will provide solution operators with an intuitive user experience. With a large range of features which enhance this user experience, SkyCore provides users with an easy to use interface which allows them to extract and focus on the operational data that is most relevant to them, regardless of their area of interest.
Importantly, in an industry-first initiative, we also redefined the way in which SkyCore is accessed, eliminating the traditional user-based licensing model and unleashing a new era of freedom and flexibility. Airports can seamlessly scale their operations and provide access to all relevant stakeholders, without the constraints of user-based licensing. This reflects our commitment to provide a revolutionary experience and place the airports’ operational needs at the forefront of our solution design, enabling them to harness the full potential of SkyCore without any limitations.
Embrace the Future of Airport Operations with SkyCore AODB
In an industry where efficiency, collaboration, and passenger satisfaction reign supreme, AirportLabs' SkyCore AODB emerges as a beacon of innovation and is a proven solution in some of the largest and most complex operations in the world, as well as in airports of a smaller scale. Its multi-airport implementation serves as a compelling testament to the strength of its cloud-based architecture: in one of the largest international airports in the world, SkyCore effectively handles vast and intricate sets of operational data, ensuring real-time updates by integrating with over 50 critical airport systems and third-party vendors. The cloud-based infrastructure, coupled with the solution's upscaling capabilities, allows it to efficiently manage the heightened capacity demands during operational peaks. On the other hand, its implementation in a much smaller airport demonstrates SkyCore’s ability to downscale to efficiently meet the airport's smaller operational size when needed.
With digitization becoming an increasingly important focus of airport operations, SkyCore AODB is here to both support and drive this digital transformation process. This cutting-edge solution harnesses the power of real-time data with a suite of innovative yet fully comprehensive features that allows airports to streamline their operational workflows whilst providing all stakeholders with the insights required to adapt swiftly to dynamic operational scenarios.
As the aviation industry propels into the digital age and airports focus on the digitization of their operations, SkyCore AODB sets an industry benchmark as the technological cornerstone of this digital transformation process and empowers airports to not only meet but exceed their expectations in this new era of agile, data-driven, and passenger-centric airport operations.
