Apron safety, de-icing and airside guidance displays for airport operators
Airport environments demand hardware that runs in sub-zero temperatures, stands up to jet blast and de-icing fluid, and integrates with operations software without custom middleware. Ampron displays have been in service at Tallinn Airport since 2016, across four deployments.
Applications
How Ampron displays are used in airports
De-icing pad displays
A towed LED trailer and fixed pad boards show the crew each step (taxi forward, stop, contact de-ice, de-icing in progress, completed), driven by the operator from a rugged tablet.
Apron safety and weather warnings
Preset and free-text warnings, plus weather warnings triggered automatically from the aviation weather feed, pushed to every apron board from one console.
Follow-me and stand guidance
Wide-format DS Series boards guide aircraft and ground vehicles to correct stand or bay assignment in real time.
Passenger information
Gate, boarding status and wayfinding for airside passenger zones — Models built to EN 50121-4 railway EMC available for railway-adjacent terminals.
