Simple Introduction to SwissPort Express Deicing Operation and its Java Open Source Software

1. SEDO
Swissport Express Deicing Operation

2. Winter Ops
 SEDO has designed an application to bring efficiency and
organization to various scenarios that occur during deicing
operations.
 Those scenarios range from multiple aircraft on the pad making calls to
one pad commander which can quickly get chaotic.
 SOC needing immediate information on flight status/pad availability.
 Ensuring the accurate accounting of information for FAA audits.
 Equipment/truck issues and difficulty coordinating with GSE.
 Overall communication breakdowns.

3. SEDO DATA
 The SEDO tool allows the pad commander to record
data for up to 6 spots and 12 aircraft simultaneously
with ease and efficiency.
 The data that SEDO records:
 Date
 Aircraft category
 Flight number
 Aircraft number
 Type of Deicing request
 The spot on the pad
 Start and end times for de-icing operation
 Records the employee number and the type of post check.
 Records the Release time of the Aircraft.
 Allows for any additional relevant comments.

4. User Interface
 Pad Commander Interface

5. Data Integrity
 The de-icing data is then recorded in a table within the
SEDO tool without any further prompting by the pad
commander.
 Once the de-icing of an aircraft is concluded the tool
can be reset for the next flight.
 There are also two back ups to ensure the integrity of
the data.
 Online table on the SEDO website.
 Offline file backed up on the computer.

6. Station Ops/GSE
 Information for Station Ops will be available on the SEDO website
 www.iadsedo.com
 Under the subcategory of Live flight Monitors SOC will be able to view the
status of a specific flight to see if it has been deiced and released or if it is
in progress.
 The website will provide flight information, and deicing progress but
withhold secure information like employee names and numbers.
 Station Ops will also have the ability to communicate with the pad
commander via a live chat tool available on the website to clarify any
issues.
 The website will also provide information on truck/equipment status that
can be monitored in real time by GSE and Station Ops to be aware of any
malfunctions or necessary repairs.

7. Sedo Advantages
 Benefits of the SEDO tool.
 Making information more fluidly available for coordination
between SOC and de-icing pad.
 Eliminating unnecessary redundancies in both radio
communication and paperwork.
 Diminishing misinformation due to errors on paperwork with real
time recorded tables.
 Ensuring the pad commander is able to be more efficient and
organized in deicing ops when the pad is busy.
 Allowing GSE/SOC/Pad and eventually pilots to have one
resource to obtain information on deicing procedures, and tools
to ensure stronger communication and teamwork.
