ADB SAFEGATE
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.

Apron: Faster, safer aircraft turnarounds
The Airside 4.0 concept by ADB SAFEGATE is a game-changer that empowers airports to achieve their goals by leveraging new and emerging technologies and has led to the development of the Intelligent AiPRON suite.
Our Intelligent AiPRON operational platform brings a holistic, intelligent approach to managing apron activities from landing to takeoff. We’ve integrated the systems and processes important to apron operations into a single ecosystem that uses machine learning technologies to optimize taxiing, docking and pushback procedures and improve the efficiency and elasticity of ground handling operations as a whole.
-
Tower: Smart software powers seamless traffic flow
ADB SAFEGATE’s integrated tower software brings all the information controllers need onto one screen, enabling full control over aircraft and ground vehicle movement for safe, seamless routing and guidance from approach to departure.
The OneControl platform uses a service-oriented architecture that provides a modular approach to traffic management solutions. A variety of services, e.g., surveillance, flight plan and progress, apron and airfield ground lighting data, can be enabled on demand to guarantee the best user experience and facilitate a scalable and future-proof investment for airports of any size.
-
Terminal: Accelerate operational performance
From synchronizing and managing airport processes and resources, to sharing vast volumes of data for all stakeholders, ADB SAFEGATE’s smart terminal systems help manage operations with ease.
Our Airport Operational Database (AODB) facilitates efficient airport management by providing a single source of accurate information for various business aspects bringing airports closer to the A-CDM vision and into Airport 4.0. The Flight Information Display System (FIDS) caters to the evolving consumption of visual media by not only displaying flight information but also allowing additional content such as advertising, retail information, and security alerts. Our Resource Management System (RMS) is a suite of solutions that maximize resource utilization through comprehensive planning capabilities and built-in flexibility.
-
Weather: Minimizing risks with valuable weather data
All Weather Inc. (an ADB SAFEGATE Company) develops dependable aviation technology solutions that helps airports minimize risks by combining air traffic integration and surface weather measurement technology with flexible system design and comprehensive project management.
Offerings include:
- aviation weather systems,
