Airports utilize multiple fleet types. The aircrafts themselves, luggage trailers, tarmac transport for staff and passengers, and various maintenance vehicles. GpsGate end user NH Rental provides airports with aerial lifting platforms throughout Belgium. Aircraft engineers use their equipment to perform maintenance on these large aircrafts. Brussels Airport alone houses 74 airlines, with 236 destinations, and an average of 645 flight movements daily. With a smart solution built by Conneqtech, NH Rental can keep up with the demands of daily operations at major international airports.

Customer case: NH Rental

For operators of electric booms and scissor lifts, battery maintenance, and replacement is one of the most significant expenses. Difficulty monitoring battery charges meant that NH Rental replaced equipment more often than necessary. Batteries are optimized for heavy use and quick charging in even the coldest weather conditions. As new products like Genie's lithium-ion batteries offer a more eco-friendly and rugged design, equipment costs increase. A typical battery costs upwards of 500 Euros, depending on the model, and that doesn't account for remote accessories. For NH Rentals, monitoring battery voltage and charging levels was Conneqtech's first priority.

Complex signal tracking of aerial lifting platforms

Electric boom lifts maneuver effortlessly for airplane mechanics can do their work safely. For the largest passenger and cargo aircrafts, these scissor lifts allow technicians to work at heights of 20 meters. Today’s models are run on chargeable electric batteries, a strategy to help rental companies cut costs and emissions across the board. NH Rental runs both electric and diesel engine booms, fit with Teltonika Telematics GPS tracking devices. These trackers document signal inputs for optimal operations. For example, aerial booms maintain an ideal voltage of 25. Excessive voltage results in batteries that drain quickly. Over time, stretching battery life in this way renders batteries useless.
