How telemetry enhances communication between ground ops and maintenance
FORT ATKINSON, Wis. - To ensure ground handling teams are achieving on-time performance goals, and doing so safely, ground support equipment (GSE) uptime is key. Telematics solutions and data management platforms are aiding operational efficiency by allowing ground handling personnel to effectively communicate with GSE maintenance professionals, Josh Smith writes for Ground Support Worldwide.

29 July 2024 - For example, officials at EBIS, a Tronair Solution, explain that by using a telemetry platform with EBIS, along with its GPS capability, GSE can be located and important data like meter readings can be recorded. This allows maintenance personnel to automatically schedule required maintenance for a specific piece of GSE.
“Telemetry is a complement to your GSE maintenance program,” explains Krystle Wittig, customer success manager at EBIS. “By installing telemetry on your equipment, EBIS has the ability to partner with the telemetry company to pull the selected data and the GPS location. One key highlight that is an immediate benefit for GSE technicians is the ability to identify where that piece of equipment is located on the airfield.”
GSE maintenance teams can utilize captured data and telematics platforms to prevent future breakdowns, manage parts inventory, create and adjust preventative maintenance schedules, and inform ground operations teams when equipment is in or out of service.
