Flexible Area Reporting

/in /by

Every airport is different, so when it comes to log position, we’ve had to work pretty hard to make A1Airside work for everyone.

Some airfields already have predefined areas which makes it easy for us. Operators can pick an area from a list or we can show an overhead map and allow a tap on the log location.

If there are no areas however, what we will do is define a grid across the whole area covered. The overhead map is shown as before and tapping on it will add in a grid square as well as the map co-ordinates to the log. Having a defined area against each log allows us to add a couple of useful area based graphs to our standard report as well as allowing you to generate your own custom graphs and reports from this information when required.

And of course, a co-ordinate in the log allows us to generate those useful annotated maps, showing log types, direction of flypasts, etc. all overlaid on your airfield.

Online or Offline, seamless brings savings

/in /by

Good Wi-Fi coverage is rare on an aerodrome. Any managed system developed for one ideally needs to work both online and offline.

Our logging app doesn’t require a constant connection to the internet to operate normally. Logs will be stored automatically on the device and sent later, when you’re back in range of Wi-Fi, at the end of shift for instance.

In our work with many of the UK wildlife management service providers, we hear that one of the reasons they choose to use our system is the seamless offline logging that it offers. When you’re working with multiple airfields, this can bring huge benefits, saving extra initial outlay on 3G enabled tablets and avoiding the ongoing headache of monthly SIM contracts to pay for and monitor.

 

February – Our Best Month Ever

/in /by

February is upon us and A1Airside is off to a great year. We’re excited to announce that it’s our best month so far for new sign-ups. 6 new airfields have come on line, our monthly record so far, and we’re grateful to all of them for choosing our system.

A1Airside System Connectivity

/in /by

A1Airside is designed from the ground up as a connected, integrated system that can be easily adopted into an existing wildlife management strategy.

Logging Devices

Logs are entered from any number of low cost devices: tablets or smartphones, and are sent securely to our cloud datastore where they immediately become available for inspection and analysis.

If the devices are 4G-enabled or if there is good Wi-Fi across the airfield, logs will be sent in real time. If not, logs will be automatically queued until the device comes in range of Wi-Fi, at the end of shift or day perhaps, at which point they’ll be sent.

Web Portal

The Web Portal is accessible from any internet connected computer and allows you to generate your reports, maps and downloads simply and easily from the logs stored in the cloud.  If you work with other parties, you can choose to allow them portal access too. If they may log as part of the services they provide, perhaps 13km work, this can also be done straight into the system and you’re then able to inspect and analyse the data.

Integration

The system is flexible by design and our expertise in the data arena means we can integrate well with existing or legacy systems you may have. Every case is different so please ask our experts.

Conclusion

If your logs are being stored or moved around on memory sticks or you’re logging on paper, please get in touch and see how much easier and more flexible, reliable and manageable your wildlife logging could be.
