Airfield Ground Lighting, Aircraft Docking Guidance Systems, Intelligent Apron Management, Tower Solutions, Weather Systems

ADB SAFEGATE has been at the forefront of airside innovation for more than 75 years, introducing airfield ground lighting and aircraft docking guidance technologies that have significantly enhanced safety and efficiency. With the introduction of our Airside 4.0 portfolio, we are taking the next step by incorporating the Internet of Things (IoT) with the potential to revolutionize airside operations.  

ADB SAFEGATE is proud to be leading the way with innovative and smart Airside 4.0 solutions that turn airports into smart airports, empowering airports and their stakeholders to achieve their goals for improved performance, carbon neutrality and enhanced passenger experience.

  • With Airside 4.0, we are providing a roadmap to an interconnected and truly intelligent airside that will allow airports to increase airside safety and availability, improve operational efficiencies, minimize disruption and uncover advanced maintenance strategies to transform their operations.
  • Airside 4.0 will equip airports with a digital version of their airside, allowing them to replicate the behavior and performance of their physical assets in real time. A new era of digital technologies, data analytics and collaborative processes will provide valuable insights to improve decision making, and automation will optimize airport operations and greatly improve safety.
  • The value of airside digitalization is unlimited as ADB SAFEGATE partners with airports and airlines worldwide to find solutions that meet the challenges aviation faces today.

This move towards true airside digitization is what will set airports apart in the future.
