Braunschweig — In February 2009, delair Air Traffic Systems was awarded the contract to provide a system for the optimisation of the utilisation and seasonal planning of check-in counters at Vienna Airport. At the end of 2009 the sally check-in module began operation.
sally check-in covers all the specific requirements of check-in planning, e.g. common check-in or bulky luggage counters. It also includes an assessment of demand at check-in counters to consider customer-specific key data.
For the automatic and optimised allocation of flights to check-in counters sally check-in uses a powerful and extremely fast planning and optimisation algorithm. Furthermore, new internet technologies are provided with the current version of sally.
In the tactical version sally offers the possibility of updating your planning daily, whereas the strategic version carries through an optimisation for several days.
An extended analysis function provides statistics about the resource allocation, e.g. the utilisation of check-in counters by a specific airline/handling agent or the number of passengers which have checked in at Terminal 1. These assessments can also be exported and processed for further purposes.
sally product family
The sally product family consists of interoperable modules for mobile and immobile resources like sally-stand, sally-gate, sally-bus, sally-tow, sally-check-in and sally-racetrack. sally-stand is used for the optimised occupation of aircraft stands. sally-gate helps airport operators or airlines to optimise the use of gate areas. sally-bus supports dispatchers with the appropriate utilisation of passenger buses and sally-tow helps to optimise tug vehicle operations.
In combination with focus and/or darts4D software, sally check-in enables the direct online coordination between apron control and the driver. It organises the allocation of the check-in counters of an airport. Based on the generic sally kernel, additional modules for similar resources can be easily added.
