Ground support PCA / GPU / apron-side infrastructure

Operational visibility for PCA & GPU fleets at stand level.

BXR Airport Solutions adds a dedicated telemetry and digital twin layer on top of existing PCA, GPU and apron-side infrastructure – without disturbing proven control logic.

Live stand views
PCA, GPU, load banks
On-prem, cloud or hybrid
Stand overview

A calm, stand-centric view of PCA, GPU and load banks per gate.

Alarm & event lane

Grouped alarms and advisories to match existing engineering language.

Energy & usage views

Structured kWh and runtime data for commercial and planning use.

Solutions

PCA, GPU and apron-side infrastructure in one visual layer.

Three tightly-defined solution streams: day-to-day monitoring, energy and usage records, and an apron throughput lens for planning.

PCA & GPU monitoring

Operations

Real-time equipment status by stand, not just device ID.

  • Temperatures, pressures, power, alarms
  • Stand / gate-centric overview screens
  • Supports mixed PCA / GPU fleets

Usage & energy records

Commercial

Structured kWh, run hours and idle time for each stand.

  • Turnaround-level usage snapshots
  • Export to billing or BI tools
  • Configurable tariffs and groupings

Apron throughput lens

Planning

Understand how equipment behaviour interacts with stand capacity.

  • Bottleneck detection across stands
  • Inputs to A-CDM conversations
  • Supports airport or handler-led projects
Approach

From register maps to a defensible digital twin.

Keep controllers and PLCs in place. Add a structured data layer and calm, legible views that can survive technical review and tenders.

1

Scope stands and equipment

Define target stands, PCA/GPU units and points using existing documentation.

2

Connect to controllers

Modbus/TCP, RTU or OEM interfaces, aligned with OT / IT rules and zones.

3

Model data & build views

Configure stand views, alarm groups and retention to match how teams talk today.

4

Pilot, review and extend

Run a short pilot, review with operations and engineering, then extend coverage.

Use cases

For airports, handlers and OEMs.

The same platform can underpin airport-led infrastructure programmes, ground handler fleets or OEM connected-service offerings. Each use case emphasises a different conversation, but the underlying data is shared.

Choose your vantage point
BXR is positioned as a monitoring and digital twin layer that can be read three ways: as airport infrastructure, as handler fleet management, or as an OEM connected service foundation.

Airport-led deployment

Airport authorities & infrastructure teams
Infrastructure & energy
Focused on infrastructure utilisation, energy and stand capacity across priority gates and terminals.
  • PCA / GPU usage per stand and pier
  • Energy and idle-time baselines
  • Inputs into A-CDM and stand planning
Primary owner: Airport infrastructure / electrical Typical start: pilot on key stands or a single pier

Ground handler fleets

Handlers & operations control
Fleet & SLAs
Fleet health, SLAs and allocation across multiple airport customers, with clear separation by contract.
  • Per-customer views and stand groups
  • Uptime, fault and response metrics
  • Shared view for ops & maintenance teams
Primary owner: Ground operations / GSE management Typical start: one high-traffic stand cluster

OEM connected services

Equipment manufacturers
Service & digital twin
A neutral monitoring and analytics layer which OEMs can embed or integrate into service contracts.
  • Mixed or single-brand PCA / GPU fleets
  • Remote diagnostics & upgrade stories
  • Language aligned with “digital twin” offers
Primary owner: OEM service & product teams Typical start: flagship site or reference airport

Arrange a technical discussion or pilot outline.

Share a representative PCA / GPU register map and stand layout, and BXR can prepare a pilot outline with scope, indicative timelines and technical assumptions for review.
