Date 23.04.2025

ADB SAFEGATE has unveiled its latest Airside 4.0® innovation – PAPI Connect with LINC Node, a groundbreaking solution that transforms how airports monitor and manage Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPIs). By integrating data-driven infrastructure into the airside operations, this solutions sets a new standard for advanced maintenance management.

Through the integration of LINC Node technology into PAPI systems, airports can remotely monitor, analyze, and manage the lifecycle of these critical assets. This ensures optimal performance at all times. With its modular design, LINC Node can even be installed on existing PAPIs in under 30 minutes per PAPI box, minimizing disruption to airport operations.

PAPI Connect enables airports to transition from reactive to proactive, data-driven airside maintenance, unlocking new levels of safety, efficiency and sustainability. This Airside 4.0® solution empowers airports to build smarter, more connected airside infrastructure.

PAPI Connect with LINC Node addresses key challenges airports face today and delivers measurable value, including:

  • Enhanced safety: Proactive monitoring delivers real-time insights to prevent safety issues before they affect operations
  • Reduced operational costs: Early detection and efficient lifecycle management minimizes costly downtime and repairs
  • Optimized maintenance efficiency: Automated alerts help airport teams to prioritize and schedule maintenance tasks effectively
  • Improved sustainability goals: Increased efficiency reduces energy waste, supporting airports’ green initiatives

Built on three core principles – CONNECT, COLLECT, PREDICT – PAPI Connect with LINC Node enables airports to connect critical airside assets, collect actionable data, and predict potential issues before they arise.

“PAPI Connect with LINC Node is a game-changer for airports everywhere,”  says Corey Stutz, Director of Segment Marketing for ADB SAFEGATE. “Whether managing a small regional airfield or an international hub, this innovative solution doesn’t just address today’s operational challenges – it creates a runway to the future, where connectivity and digital transformation define the airside ecosystem.”
