Anton Air Support has partnered with CLX Engineering to develop and demonstrate autonomous docking technology for Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBBs).<\/p>\n

As part of this collaboration, a Passenger Boarding Bridge was installed at our Airport Obdam facility, creating a dedicated environment for testing and demonstrating autonomous docking technology to industry professionals and airport representatives.<\/p>\n

During the demonstration, representatives from London Heathrow Airport were given the opportunity to experience the autonomous docking process firsthand. The system enables a Passenger Boarding Bridge to automatically and precisely dock with an aircraft door mock-up, without requiring an operator to manually control the docking process.<\/p>\n

The fully autonomous docking sequence can be completed in less than 45 seconds, significantly reducing waiting time and contributing to a faster and more efficient boarding and disembarkation process.<\/p>\n

Beyond speed, autonomous docking offers important advantages in terms of safety, accuracy and operational efficiency. By automating the docking procedure, the technology reduces the need for manual intervention while ensuring a consistent and precise connection between the passenger boarding bridge and the aircraft.<\/p>\n

The installation at Airport Obdam provides Anton Air Support and CLX Engineering with a dedicated platform to further develop, test and demonstrate this technology in a realistic airport environment.<\/p>\n
