Application Area - Service Management

T-Systems, Europe

T-Systems is one of the leading service providers in terms of information and communication technology in Europe. T-Systems' sectoral solutions for airports ranges from apron and terminal control to air traffic, passenger and cargo management.

The VARCHART JGantt component of NETRONIC is used to support the allocation of tasks to resources visually. One example is the scheduling of a bus driving task for passengers from the terminal to the plane, another one the occupation of parking lots by air planes.

The chart displays for what time and for which plane check-in counters are scheduled. The scheduling of objects is not completely automated, but can also be accomplished manually. The top line in the chart serves as a stock for clearances not yet allocated. From that hold line, the managing clerk simply by drag and drop can schedule a check-in counter. Conflicts due to limited capacity or to interfering rules are displayed by special colors (red) and therefore become conspicuous immediately.

Says Hendrik Löhn of the Project Center Air Travel and Solution Service Center Services: "After having used NETRONIC products for a couple of years, VARCHART JGantt homogeneously blends in our modern software architectures. It has enhanced versatility and productivity in our applications".

ARMS - the Airport Resource Management System is based on VARCHART XGantt. The ARMS Module is designed for the planning, optimisation and management of the airport resources (infrastructural, mobile and personnel resources).

The component provided by NETRONIC Software is used to display and modify the state of the resources' usage in a simple and efficient way.

Important flight information is displayed on the bars; color changes highlight a flight's change of state: landing, approaching, etc. for arrival flights; check-in opening, boarding, etc. for departure flights.

Critical situations, conflicts and demands of re-allocation of resources caused by delays or by other changes of the schedule are appropriately highlighted.

In addition, it is possible to change the allocation of resources by simple "drag & drop" operations.
