Braunschweig, Germany – The positive experiences gained with the resource management system 'sally stand/gate' from delair at Vienna Airport resulted in an order of the module 'sally check-in'. In addition to the optimised utilisation of stands and gates ('sally stand' and 'sally gate'), 'sally check-in' will help Vienna Airport to optimise the planning of its check-in counters.

With 'sally check-in' Vienna Airport can rely on the most modern and future orientated technology. Both 'sally stand/gate' and the new check-in module feature a fast planning algorithm for the optimised utilisation of resources as well as new web technologies which are available with the current version 3 of 'sally'.

'sally check-in' covers the specific requirements of a check-in planning including for example common check-in or check-in of bulky luggage. The module contains an assessment of demand of check-in counters whereby the customer specific classification numbers are considered. In addition, comprehensive analysis functions will be available which deliver online statistics regarding the resource occupancy at all times. These statistics can also be exported and processed for other application purposes.

A-CDM

'sally' is part of delair's advanced collaborative decision-making (A-CDM) product family. The products help to reduce fuel consumption, noise and pollutant emissions through reduced holdings, shorter flight times in the terminal maneuvering area (TMA), shorter taxi times before take-off and optimised procedures. The product suite includes the A-CDM platform as the interface between delair's applications and external systems, as well as other advanced planning tools.

The advanced tools consist of the arrival and departure manager 'darts4D', which was developed in cooperation with DFS based on the DFS arrival manager '4D-Planner' and the departure manager 'darts' from delair; as well as the resource manager 'sally' and the electronic flight strip system 'focus'.
