Smarter Airports AODB

Matching & Enrichment Engine (AODB)

The efficient and reliable operation of an airport depends on having common, comprehensive, and always up to date operational data linked to specific flights.

The Matching & Enrichment Engine – also known as Airport Operational Database (AODB) – gathers, prioritises, and enriches data from different sources — providing various stakeholders with the most relevant and reliable data in real-time – ensuring a single source of truth.

Key Functionality

• Flexible and automatic matching of messages from multiple sources and combined to a single source of truth
• Flights and other operational data are gathered from a variety of sources, including integrations to legacy systems, and matched and enriched with core operational asset data.
• Process and prioritize data through centralized and fully customizable business rules — bespoke to your operations.
• Verify your business rules before deployment, to ensure maximum efficiency and accuracy. Modify your business rules at runtime, with easy management and complete control – independent of IT development resources.
• Flex the database’s architecture to suit your needs — deploy specific data models, input varying source integrations, and set the rules that work for you.
• Adapt the AODB’s schema model, to accommodate data from new input sources and for output to new consumers.
• Built-in flight linking capabilities and a plugin model allows extending the Matching & Enrichment Engine with new capabilities.

Benefits

• Data is sourced from different sources, aggregated, and prioritized to ensure a single source of truth for all stakeholders.
• Fully customizable to the specific needs of the airport and integration to the Smarter Airports ecosystem.
• Business rules can easily be modified to adapt to a changing environment —independent of IT-development resources.
