Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are transforming airport logistics by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and better meeting passenger needs. Here are three ways in which these technologies are revolutionizing the industry.
1. Optimizing baggage management operations
AI facilitates faster and more accurate baggage management through automated identification and sorting systems. Airports like Hong Kong are already using smart sorting technologies, reducing losses and improving passenger flow.
2. Air traffic control automation
In air traffic control, AI helps optimize flight paths, reduce delays, and reduce fuel consumption. These intelligent systems ensure increased fluidity of flights while limiting the carbon footprint of airlines.
3. Cost reduction through the automation of supply chains
Automation allows for efficient management of airport supply chains. With real-time tracking and predictive analytics technologies, airports can better manage their resources, reduce operational costs, and ensure the availability of critical parts.
For example, Aircharge technology allowed teams at Roissy-Charles de Gaule and Orly airports to connect their equipment. By promoting the transmission of information in real time, geolocation and dematerialization, this allows refueling companies to gain efficiency while respecting security standards.
AI and automation are now essential for innovation in airport logistics. By optimizing operations and improving passenger satisfaction, these technologies offer airports a path to more efficient, sustainable and competitive management.
