A sustainable leap forward in Ground Support Equipment
Airports worldwide are under increasing pressure to adopt efficient, sustainable ground support equipment that balances performance with environmental responsibility. However, many airports are struggling with how to power all the GSE required to service the aircraft at the gate. But by moving beyond individual units, EcoGate integrates GSE equipment into an innovative system of ground support units designed to work together intelligently, setting new standards for efficiency and sustainability.
EcoGate in action at Birmingham, US
Travelers and aviation professionals heading to Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM) in the US can now witness the EcoGate system in operation.
One of the beauties of EcoGate is its flexibility. You only need two EcoGate enabled units to get started allowing airports to upgrade existing gate infrastructure at a minimal cost.
In Birmingham for example, EcoGate equals the ITW GSE 3500 PCA and the 2400 Power Coil with the PCA as the beating heart of the system.
The technologies behind EcoGate
The 3500 PCA hosts two key elements in EcoGate:
- Intelligent Power Management: IPM ensures efficient energy use by dynamically allocating power based on real-time demand
- Automated Aircraft Type Detection: Communicates the exact specifications of the aircraft at the gate, enabling precision-tailored airflow
Working together, these technologies transform existing gates into modern systems, minimizing energy consumption and supporting seamless operations for the ground handlers.
Unlock the potential of gate efficiency
EcoGate is here to redefine the economics of airport gate operations. And by making the most of existing infrastructure, utilizing excess power from the grid, and improving efficiency, it aligns with the industry’s ambitions to go green while optimizing costs.
