Aircraft Safe Docking System (ASD)

Increasing safety of ramp operations is a much broader challenge than it appears. As part of its innovative culture, TLD has decided to develop a new solution, bringing GSE to a higher level of safety during operations, with the ASD (Aircraft Safe Docking System).
As this safety challenge concerns the aircraft docking of any GSE, TLD has developed a solution adapted to belt loaders, passenger steps and loaders. The goal of the system is to prevent damage by GSE to the aircraft, and moreover to ensure that no aircraft should depart with unreported impact. The TLD ASD is a simple, reliable and easy to maintain solution.
An important objective of our R&D has been to develop a solution retrofittable on most existing equipment, from any manufacturer, as this safety improvement, once implemented, will most preferably need to be installed on the whole fleet of equivalent equipment. As a matter of fact, it would be dangerous for an operator already accustomed to this safety system, to be suddenly deprived of it when using the equipment from another brand.
TLD Product and Innovation Director, Laurent Decoux, discusses the ASD system and explains how this revolutionary software can bring increased safety to all airside operations.
