Smoothly managing airport services is crucial in the hectic travel environment of today. One of the leading producers of airport carts was facing increasing difficulties. Thousands of carts had to be kept operating profitably across crowded airports. It became difficult to make sure carts were maintained correctly in real time and were available around the clock. That’s where Haposoft stepped in. We developed a smart, tech-driven solution that tackled these problems and improved overall operations. About Client Our client is a world-leading manufacturer of airport carts, providing thousands of essential carts across international airports. Their carts are relied upon by millions of travelers, and their availability and proper maintenance are critical to ensuring an efficient and pleasant airport experience. However, managing such a large fleet of carts across multiple zones in high-traffic airports posed significant challenges. Challenge The client faced three primary challenges in maintaining the availability and functionality of their airport carts: System Management: Monitoring the availability of carts in various locations throughout the airport to ensure all passengers had access when needed, especially during peak times. Indoor Location Tracking: With passengers constantly moving in and out of the airport, it became increasingly difficult to position carts strategically across different zones without real-time tracking. Information Management: Managing and maintaining data consistency on cart usage, maintenance, and location across multiple departments was becoming more complicated as the fleet grew. These challenges not only affected the efficiency of airport operations but also had a direct impact on the overall customer experience. Solutions To address the intricate issues the client faced in managing their airport cart fleet, Haposoft developed a set of targeted solutions designed to tackle each challenge effectively. By focusing on automation, real-time data, and a unified management system, we ensured that both operational efficiency and user satisfaction were greatly improved. 1. MAP-Type Information Management We developed the MAP-type information management system to tackle the issue of managing and tracking assets and personnel. The tool integrates maps, drawings, and records into one platform, eliminating lost files and untracked assets. Built using Laravel and Vue.js, it provides an interactive interface where objects and people are easily registered and tracked. This solution simplifies asset management and enhances route analysis, improving overall efficiency. Key Features: Integrated Platform: Combines maps, drawings, and records to streamline asset management. Real-Time Tracking: Provides instant updates on the location of assets and personnel. Instant Alerts: Staff are notified in real-time when a particular zone runs low on carts, allowing them to react quickly. 2. Smart Location Tracking to Optimize Cart Placement Ensuring carts were strategically placed throughout the airport required a solution that could track their movements accurately. We implemented Smart Location Tracking using IoT sensors attached to each cart. This solution was designed to track assets indoors and outdoors without relying on direct power sources. Using LPWA (LoRa) technology, along with solar-powered beacons and GPS, this system offers precise location tracking and maintenance-free operation. The addition of geofencing and heatmap analysis ensures better resource allocation and control of assets. Key Features: Precision Tracking: With IoT sensors, each cart’s location is tracked down to its exact position, enabling more informed placement.. Traveler Flow Alignment: Ensures carts are placed in high-demand areas based on real-time traveler movement. Reduced Downtime: By tracking cart usage, the system helps avoid periods of cart unavailability. 3. Unified Information Dashboard for Enhanced Operational Transparency It takes smooth departmental collaboration to manage thousands of carts, particularly when it comes to managing maintenance schedules, keeping an eye on usage, and guaranteeing data consistency. To simplify this process, we developed a Unified Information Dashboard. The function automates scheduling, equipment reservations, and team coordination by digitizing daily processes like timecards and reporting. Built with Laravel and Vue.js, this tool ensures real-time updates on team activities and equipment status, centralizing operations and improving communication across departments. Key Features: Centralized Data Access: All relevant information—cart availability, maintenance schedules, and usage—is available in one place, making decision-making much easier. Enhanced Coordination: Departments now have a clear overview of cart status, which reduces response times and prevents communication breakdowns. Maintenance Optimization: The dashboard provides alerts for carts requiring maintenance, minimizing downtime and extending cart longevity. Outcome The comprehensive suite of solutions Haposoft implemented yielded significant improvements in airport cart management. Key outcomes included: ► Unmatched Availability: The client achieved 24/7 cart availability, ensuring that carts were always accessible for travelers, regardless of peak times. ► Enhanced Operational Efficiency: The automated inventory system and smart location tracking drastically reduced downtime and maintenance costs. ► Improved User Experience: Passengers benefited from the seamless availability of carts, contributing to a smoother airport experience. ► Data-Driven Decision Making: The unified information dashboard allowed the client to monitor cart usage and maintenance in real-time, enabling more informed, data-driven decisions. ► Broad Applicability: The scalable solutions developed extended beyond airport cart management, offering potential applications in other industries that require asset management in confined spaces. Conclusion Through addressing the unique issues encountered by the client, Haposoft developed solutions that significantly improved their airport cart management. Thanks to automated inventory systems, a uniform dashboard, and real-time tracking, they can now operate more profitably, save maintenance expenses, and give passengers a better experience. The client is now better positioned to meet the industry's rising demands as a leader in airport cart services thanks to this project.
