APRIL 2013 GROUND HANDLING INTERNATIONAL
EMBARKmobile, which it describes as a truly portable solution for automated airline passenger boarding. Designed for the latest generation of tablets and smartphones, EMBARKmobile supports the devices that the operator wants to use, and where the operator wants to use them. With EMBARKmobile airlines and ground handlers now have the power and flexibility to deploy resources as demand requires, taking control of their cost base and adopting the technology that fits their operation. Aviation is acknowledged to be an industry wherein movement and change are constant. New airports, new equipment, new retail channels, new security regulations and new technology – the list goes on. However, very often, the boarding process is anything but new. There are still headcounts at the gate and on the aircraft; there is still old, fixed equipment and of course, there are still big queues. This situation is akin to a stone in the shoe after a day of business meetings or on the return leg of a holiday. Worse still, mistakes made during boarding can prove more than an inconvenience. Minimising expensive
network costs and avoiding large fines will certainly help a handler’s margins but what cost a damaged reputation? Up to date - and cost-effective by combining the latest mobile technology with the powerful and widely adopted Embark boarding system, the operator can reduce his dependence on airport- supplied gate equipment and on a Common Use infrastructure. Boarding gate agents simply carry the devices to where they’re needed next, helping to match accurately resource with demand, regardless of location. If an operator already uses the Embark or L-DCS applications, they can benefit too because EMBARKmobile is fully compatible with these products. With EMBARKmobile behind the devices used for check-in and boarding, it becomes possible to streamline and speed up processes, which can give the handler a competitive advantage. Interaction and compliance with government agencies will also be improved. As a fully portable solution, EMBARKmobile can endow agents with the flexibility to collect information anywhere – even on the aircraft during boarding.
IT FOCUS 29
The simple and intuitive interface shaves vital seconds off the boarding process, as well as requiring minimal training or support from lead agents and supervisors. So what do we have here? In essence a solution that is fast, secure and can be used with an array of equipment, such as Apple or Android devices, as well as modern, mobile 2D barcode readers. Where handlers are currently using manual methods to verify passengers, the benefits of possessing live details of who has boarded the aircraft become instantly apparent. Today, airports have unprecedented access to the Internet (through wi-fi, 3G and now 4G), giving any organisation the potential for far greater control over operations.
The technology is now available - so is this the time for adoption?
