Airport Operations

How do you balance quality service with stakeholder requirements and comply with complex regulations and labor agreements while maintaining healthy profits in airport management? DELMIA can help you meet all business goals while respecting your unique constraints. Define your efficiency, customer service and profitability targets; DELMIA has the tools and feedback you need to make it happen. In airspace management, staffing to traffic volume is key to safety and efficiency, but it is also crucial to have a well-trained and qualified workforce. DELMIA’s Air Traffic Control planning and optimization helps air navigation service providers assign the right people for the most cost-effective use of air traffic controllers (ATCOs)—while ensuring safety and ATCO satisfaction.

Air Traffic Control

Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP) deal with a host of challenges, from strict workforce agreements, and ever-increasing regulations to fluctuating traffic volumes and shortages of skilled controllers. Staffing to traffic volume is the key to achieving safety and efficiency in airspace management. It is also crucial to have a workforce that is well-trained and qualified planning and optimization helps ANSPs ensure that the right person is placed at the right position and time to achieve the most cost-effective use of air traffic controllers (ATCOs)—while ensuring safety and ATCO satisfaction.

Aircraft Ground Handling

Aircraft ground handling covers the complexity behind the scenes in preparing aircraft to carry passengers from A to B. Making sure your fleet is serviced correctly and swiftly will minimize the risk of delay. A variety of services contribute to aircraft turnaround time. These include stand allocation and field operation service, ramp service, and cabin service.

Cargo Handling

Quality, speed and communication between stakeholders are key to profitability in this sector. DELMIA Quintiq offers a flexible planning solution that can improve visibility, and guarantee that your planning decisions are in line with your business goals. An optimized daily workflow allows you to: Reduce costs and increase efficiency through rapid deployment of trained employees and correct resources; respond quickly and confidently to last minute changes and disruptions; benefit from complete visibility. enable all stakeholders to see the consequences of planning decisions immediately; and maintain high service levels to ensure customer satisfaction

Passenger Handling

Passenger handling covers the entire passenger experience, from the moment they drive into the grounds to the moment they take off. Ultimately, the passenger experience depends on smooth-running operations in which the various in-house and outsourced services at an airport work together well. Behind the scenes there are many considerations that need to be taken into account: Check-in allocation, security checks, luggage handling, and transfer service.

Aircraft Operations

Maximizing aircraft utilization is a critical challenge. Ground time means a loss of revenue, so Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) is crucial to airline safety. DELMIA’s MRO solution drives fast decision-making and helps you optimize maintenance, respond to disruptions, and utilize crew and resources efficiently. Optimize operations within constraints to align your maintenance plan with complex transportation and workforce requirements. Our augmented reality (AR) solution, DELMIA Augmented Experience, also benefits these capabilities. This proprietary tracking technology creates digital records on aircraft parts, supporting a faster, easier, and enhanced inspection process. In addition, automated defect detection minimizes errors to enable maintenance that is more efficient and repair work.

Airline Operations

Manage all aspects of airline planning across multiple planning horizons with DELMIA. For example, assign aircraft types to flight schedules, optimize the assignment of route-specific aircraft, and make strategic decisions on destinations. DELMIA Crew Planning and Scheduling supports comprehensive crew planning, considering employee preferences, skillsets, and licensing and safety standards. Planning complexity for airline catering is compounded by frequent last-minute changes in flight schedules and gate assignments, affecting travel time and delivery sequences. Speed and flexibility are crucial to delivering high-quality service to airlines. Discover how to improve utilization of materials and resources, increase productivity, and structure better commercial agreements with customers.

Fleet Network Management

Handle all aspects of fleet planning in multiple planning horizons. Assign aircraft types to flight schedules, optimize the assignment of specific aircraft to routes, and make long-term strategic decisions on which destinations to fly to. Users can reduce costs and increase profits when optimizing for shorter ground times, higher aircraft utilization and lower fuel and transportation costs. Improve customer satisfaction due to fewer flight cancellations and delays, respond quickly and confidently to last minute changes and disturbances, benefit from company-wide transparency – the consequences of planning decisions are immediately clear to all planners, and analyze various scenarios to determine the impact on your business goals when defining new destinations to fly.

Crew Planning

DELMIA Crew Scheduling supports all aspects of crew planning from crew pairing, rostering and process dispatching to long-term capacity and scenario planning. Your planners are empowered to create plans that take into consideration employee preferences, skill sets, and licensing and safety standards. Modernize the pilot planning process by creating plans and schedules based on accurate information on: pilot seniority, present and future training requirements; current levels of qualification; pilots’ preferences; transition bids; vacation allowance and requests; and availability for training. It enables users to minimize time spent on planning pilot transitions; align cockpit crew plans with your airline’s business goals; Visualize the impact of industry trends on capacity and demand; and optimize the use of expensive resources, such as pilots and training simulators.

Aviation Catering

In the world of aviation, passenger experience is key and passenger expectations are ever increasing. Competition in airline catering is intensifying with new market entrants providing similar services at lower costs. Planning complexity for hospitality in aviation is compounded by frequent last-minute changes in flight schedules and gate assignments, which in turn affect travel time and delivery sequences. Speed and flexibility have become crucial factors in delivering high-quality service to airlines. The right technology will allow you to improve the utilization of materials and resources, increase productivity and structure better commercial agreements with customers.
