The Sensus Aero GSE Management Module integrates advanced features to enhance safety, efficiency, and reliability in airport management, presenting a well-rounded solution to modern aviation challenges. This module allows full control of all equipment, while monitoring its usage and technical health. The GSE Module utilizes mobile devices for various checklists, where the ‘Driver role’ can execute tasks as set by the ‘GSE Manager role’. Sensus Aero GSE Management enables: • Daily Checklists • Technical Checklists • Customized Checklists • Tracking of In-use/Out-of-service status • Repair & Inventory Management Seamless Management of Every Detail Our comprehensive GSE Module digitalizes how you manage all ground support and additional equipment. With a few clicks, you can access a wealth of technical information about each piece of equipment – from the manufacturer, model, and registration details to purchase and retirement dates, asset codes, and more. For organizations operating across multiple stations, you’ll love the ease of sharing information and migrating equipment, complete with all historical data, checklists, and repair records. Intelligent Document Tracking and Compliance Say goodbye to missed deadlines and expired documents. Our system, tailored to your organization’s setup, enables the GSE Manager to effortlessly track and control document expirations and plan for technical inspections. You’ll get daily reminders about expiring documents, and if action isn’t taken, equipment status updates automatically to ‘out-of-service’ to ensure compliance and safety. Collaborative Workflow for Efficiency Our GSE module is designed to foster a smooth flow between different organizational roles. The GSE Manager can set up daily checklists, kickstarting a process where each Driver, using a tablet or mobile device, completes a detailed checklist before operating any equipment. This includes recording motohour counts, taking photos, and checking fuel levels or battery percentages. Any faults? They’re instantly notified to the GSE Manager and relevant roles, then seamlessly transferred to our Repair Management Module. Comprehensive Technical Checklists and Fault Management Customize technical checklists for every piece of equipment with varying frequencies – daily to annually. During checks, any faults detected are immediately sent to the Repair Management Module, where Mechanics plan and resolve issues, keeping your operations smooth and uninterrupted. Beyond the Basics: Specialized Checklists and In-Use Monitoring Our system allows for the creation of specialized checklists, such as pressure checks, ensuring that no detail is overlooked. The status of each equipment piece updates automatically based on checklist findings, keeping Mechanics informed of any non-critical issues while ensuring the equipment remains in use. Efficient Repair Management and On-Demand Reporting All faults from checklists and maintenance tracking are logged into the Repair Register. Mechanics can then manage and execute repairs, tracking progress with a color-coded system for clarity and efficiency. Need data? Our on-demand reports provide historical data, current plans, and status checks at your fingertips. Sensus GSE Management extends its capabilities beyond traditional management with the potential incorporation of IoT and Telematic devices. This enhancement allows for real-time monitoring and smarter management of ground support equipment, leading to increased operational efficiency and more informed decision-making. We also specialize in the development of Virtual Reality (VR) Training modules, offering a modern approach to staff training. This method provides a practical and interactive learning experience, ensuring that your team is thoroughly prepared for their roles in aviation ground handling. Furthermore, our system is designed for seamless integration with the Sensus Aero Ground Handling Resource Management Solution. This integration ensures cohesive management of ground operations, harmonizing various aspects of ground handling and equipment management into a streamlined workflow. In summary, our GSE Management system is not merely a tool for day-to-day operations but a step towards creating a more connected, efficient, and expertly trained ground handling team.
