InfraSolutions, a division of McFarland Johnson, announced the launch of AVIAS™, a new comprehensive airport management platform. AVIAS is an innovative technology platform that revolutionizes airport infrastructure management and planning with a suite of six specialized applications, each designed to streamline operations, enhance strategic planning, and help to ensure regulatory compliance. From dynamic analysis and inspections to real estate management, obstruction tracking, pavement condition monitoring and comprehensive project planning, AVIAS offers a one-stop solution that optimizes airport efficiency and development.
“We understand the critical challenge our clients face as they undertake significant upgrades to improve airport operational efficiency and modernize their aviation facilities for a better air travel experience,” said McFarland Johnson InfraSolutions Director of Technology, Jason Shevrin. “Our goal was to deliver an advanced technology ecosystem that drives operational excellence and generates operational value for evaluating, forecasting and analyzing airport compliance, safety, growth and funding.”
The AVIAS platform’s suite of cloud-based applications includes:
– AVIAS AeroClear, a comprehensive resource for visualizing, identifying, tracking, and analyzing obstructions, now enhanced with the capability for users to define and place their own obstructions.
– AVIAS Caplan, a centralized hub and document control system with built-in workflows for managing projects, grants, financials, and funding transfer data across a multi- airport system.
– AVIAS DAT, now enhanced with the AI-powered feature DAT CHAT, a robust and flexible application that not only analyzes both likely and unforeseen future airport scenarios with basic user inputs but allows for interactive querying of the airport’s master plan.
– AVIAS Inspect, an airport inspection and asset management application that is an integral piece to maintaining smooth operations at an airport. With unlimited user defined inspections, Operations staff can use this application to conduct, manage, and maintain self-inspections, continuous surveillance inspections, periodic condition inspections, mobile fueler inspections, fuel storage area inspections and special inspections, and can be customized to provide elements specific to an airport.
The user-friendly work order system with simple asset management features can be integrated with existing third-party systems for a cost-effective seamless solution.
– AVIAS Rumble, a pavement management application that combines the GIS portion of an interactive map with data McFarland Johnson collects to conduct timely and cost saving pavement studies. The unique ability to toggle individual pavement sections allows airport staff instant access to current and historical information on deterioration rates, pavement conditions and more.
– AVIAS Sites, a land development application that allows staff to manage a real estate portfolio of assets. It provides an auto updated map of all the parcels that the airport has available for both aviation and non-aviation development.
As small-to-medium sized airports prepare for future growth, technology tools can help them navigate their planning and decision-making processes. Improvement and expansion projects are taking off at the St. George Regional Airport in Utah as it prepares to accommodate a shift to larger capacity planes. “The AVIAS platform by McFarland Johnson was the preferred choice for the St. George Regional Airport, as a better way to track and manage our facility, allowing us to make informed decisions in response to our continued growth,” added Rich Stehmeier, C.M., Airport Manager, St. George Regional Airport.
