Traditionally, each FIDS monitor consists of a display monitor and a computer behind the monitor to run the FIDS application to display the content on the monitor. However, TAV Technologies FIDS distinguishes itself in the market with its outstanding functions and technology usage. The Smart FIDS system uses smart TV technology, and by partnering with global TV producers, the need for separate computers behind each FIDS screen is eliminated. This innovative approach helps airports remove additional computers that work in integration with screens, and each FIDS screen can now work independently with an in-device application developed by TAV Technologies. Like Netflix and YouTube applications on SmartTV, TAV Technologies has a native FIDS application that can be run on Smart TV without an extra computer behind the screen. This approach enables airports to quickly implement FIDS without buying or needing computers. Furthermore, the Smart FIDS solution allows airport IT operations teams to monitor and control FIDS screens remotely, without physically going near the monitor in case of malfunctioning, a configuration change, or application deployment and upgrade.

TAV Technologies FIDS provides airports with a flexible, user-friendly, and secure solution for efficient flight information management. With its advanced features and comprehensive integration capabilities, it ensures smooth operations, revenue generation, and a satisfactory passenger experience.
