Software is a natural fit for gate management, just as it’s been for almost all airport operations in the past decade. If there’s in lesson in those 10 years, however, it’s not every software is a cure-all.

Environment of care (EOC) rounding is just one of the many healthcare operations that shows the industry’s dedication to high standards. As more organizations take this operation on and continue to improve the process, it’s critical that they keep a few principles in mind.

An overhaul like digital transformation is always easier to ask for than it is to deliver. So let’s explore what digital transformation for state and local government means, what it looks like, and some of the ideas needed to make it all work.

Healthcare coalitions allow facilities to lean on the healthcare organizations around them in trying times. Ultimately, the “healthcare coalition” idea makes a community more resilient and makes services a constant for the residents that rely on healthcare.

Located in southern Connecticut, the regional airport offers transport to many of the major metropolitan areas on the U.S. Atlantic coast. Avelo Airlines recently opened destinations from New Haven to Florida, and just announced new routes to other major business locales, including Washington, D.C., Raleigh, and Chicago.

And as the world gets back up to speed, so too will airports and the traffic they once saw. As operations scale up, airports will need to pay more attention to gate management and explore solutions that make this operations more efficient.

The Town of Guilford, CT, discovered a way to dramatically improve the handling of daily operations and tedious administrative duties while maintaining effective communication and collaboration across multiple divisions. 

Digitization, from forms to whole operations, has swept through most industries over the past decade years, with aviation being no exception. See how Ryan Bauer at FWA tackled the challenge and modernized the airport's operations.

COVID-19 has added to the daily operations of many organizations. Organizations now have to continue to keep the lights on and protect their workplace and employees from infection. Fermin Castillo, Global Threat Manager for Paramount Pictures, is the one heading this adjustment for his organization. Safety has always been at the forefront of his role, but now his team’s goal is to get people back to work and make sure the cameras keep rolling.

Runway pavement is one of those essential airport operations. Planes need well-kept pavement to land, take off, and move about a taxi-way safely. And because runways degrade through use and exposure to weather, airfield crews need to monitor pavement conditions and repair deficiencies. Effectively, crews need to operationalize runway maintenance.

Two of the lesser known operations organizations and state and local governments perform are resource requesting and asset management. While these two operations aren’t well known, they are critical to daily operations for the organizations and governments that employ them, something the COVID-19 pandemic has only made more apparent. The importance of these operations doesn’t mean they come without their challenges. Certain steps in the processes associated with these operations can be bottlenecks, and the organizations running these operations should consider solutions that resolve and break those bottlenecks.

While Part 139 inspections (for the airports that should or opt to pursue the FAA certification) are important, airport managers should also give their attention to other airport operations. Inspections, whether they’re done as Part 139 requires or not, play critical and functional roles across all sides of an airport.

In the September 2019 issue of Airport Improvement Magazine, an article details how 29 Northern Ontario airports digitized SMS (safety management system) with Veoci.

Any possible outage instigators are always on the minds of utilities, too, and the reason for a handful of proactive programs, including vegetation management.

Preventive maintenance can offer many long-term benefits to its practitioners. This methodology has a lot of application, with use cases in almost every industry. Anywhere where machines, equipment, tools, or assets need to be in good condition to get the job done, preventive maintenance should be the engine behind it all.

There’s a lot of paper, email chains, work, and time involved for every facility running EOC Rounds. But it doesn’t need to this strenuous.
