Reconcile6 is used to track the movement of fuel across the airport supply chain, offering real-time inventory management, fuel stock accounting and reconciliation.
According to a case study on i6 technology by British Airways at London Heathrow Airport (LHR), BA was able to greatly boost its efficient operations, with a 50% increase in refuelling efficiency.
Di Mario added: “Airline and energy suppliers at locations with i6 technology will also be able to access eHandshake and Perspective6 from i6 Group. eHandshake offers real-time refuelling connectivity for into-plane operators and airlines, while Perspective6 provides a real-time view of global airline and supplier information with advanced reporting.
Furthermore, Menzies Aviation has stated that the i6 technology allows fuel suppliers and airlines to manage their supply chains more effectively, collect data from anywhere and uncover additional fuel reductions.
CEO of i6 Group Steve Uhrmacher emphasised how its technologies are defining the aviation industry: “Our solutions provide real-time inventory management, cloud-based into-plane refuelling and paperless communication between refueller and pilots. The aviation industry can now take advantage of these technologies and fully digitise fuelling operations to optimise operational efficiency and fuel usage.”
