Visualising the job
Abu Dhabi Airport Services and proveo have a long-standing partnership and the former was actually proveo’s launch customer for a pilot study in the Middle East.

Last year ADAS decided to purchase a number of Trepel CHAMP 70 W high loaders, and combined the move with setting up a pilot installation of the proveo Airport Visualiser. The Airport Visualiser enables users to monitor and control literally all asset-related processes on a single screen, benefitting from real-time data and mission-critical reporting.

ADAS’ high loaders were duly equipped with proveo's Infoman hardware device at the Trepel factory in Tauberbischofsheim, thereby reducing the installation efforts on the ground in Abu Dhabi to close to zero.
The Airport Visualiser helps ADAS to easily locate its loaders among the other motorised GSE in use on the apron at Abu Dhabi. Based on its experience with proveo, ADAS recently decided to widen the scope of the pilot project and equip its entire fleet of 43 high loaders as well as three towed GPUs, three ACUs and a Douglas TBL with the Infoman hardware. The project got underway in May and is expected to go live this summer in a pilot phase.

“Due to the rapid growth experienced at Abu Dhabi, ADAS needs to invest in systems to support the ground handling business and that provide the management team with accurate operational information. We were pleased to increase the scope of this pilot project over our peak summer period and look forward to benefits we will gain from the output as well as the ability to provide a business case for a full roll out,” says Richard Backhouse, Assistant General Manager Strategic Planning, at Abu Dhabi Airport Services.
