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.

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.

The safety management system is built on hazard reporting and risk assessment. But what will tomorrow's safety management sytem look like?

Connecticut’s second largest city, New Haven, is home to one of the oldest universities in the country: Yale University. Yale is an important piece of the city of New Haven, and both the school and the city often work hand-in-hand.

Among the many solutions that Veoci provides to the General Aviation industry, one of the less heralded but highly important (and interesting!) ones is Lease Management, especially for smaller Part 139 certified airports. And while it may seem like a simple application, Veoci’s usage as a lease management tool is an excellent demonstration of how Veoci can be configured for very specific aviation needs.

Susquehanna County, PA knows that nothing great can be accomplished without a little team work. So when the District Attorney’s office wanted a way to stop drug activity, they turned to the community- with a little help from Veoci.

With the foundation of Veoci deeply rooted in emergency management, and many of our airport, government, hospital and higher education customers relying on us to help them activate emergency plans and notify first responders in times of crisis, we certainly do not want to abandon our roots. A

Our OES manages a large volunteer program, and one that we hope to grow even more. Having an information system that can grow with us is important in being able to not only effectively manage our membership but to also provide a means to utilize them in a day to day and emergency response role.
