AIRPORTSTAR - AODB / MB
Wherever data is concerned in an airport environment, the pivotal requirements are reliability,
topicality and the possibility of cross-system exchange. The AIRPORTSTAR operational database offers a
centralised data storage on a single server, which also has the significant advantage of avoiding any redundancies
and ambiguities.
Information stored and administered in the database covers long-term data like, for example,
customer and address information, public tariffs and a service catalogue, aircraft data etc. as
well as topical operative information like flight schedule data, accruing fees and charges, invoicing data etc.
Complete Airport IT Integration with Information Broker
In addition to reliable and comprehensive data storage, the availability of data for all interacting software systems
is of utmost importance. Here, the AIRPORTSTAR-MB (message broker) supports all standard data exchange protocols
and also offers a great number of aviation-specific interfaces like, for example, IATA message import, connection
to FIDS systems and common financial bookkeeping software (e.g. SAP, ORACLE Finance) etc. The flexible module
with its versatile interface adaptation also allows the integration of non-standard systems with a minimum of
programming efforts.
With the combination of AIRPORTSTAR -AODB and MB an unprecedented degree of system integration can be achieved,
where all information can be stored centrally and made available to every involved system.
Perfect Preparation for Airport Operation Software
The integrative approach allows the co-operation between different systems based on identical data.
For example, additional interfaces to airline systems can be used to update flight schedule data.
This data can then be automatically prioritised, filtered and forwarded to a flight information display system (FIDS).
Other optional interfaces could be CUSS kiosks, baggage handling systems etc.
Thus, the AIRPORTSTAR-AODB / MB combination not only serves as the ideal basis of cross-system operation
and reliable information brokerage, but also naturally imbeds all operative AIRPORTSTAR modules in the
complete airport process environment.
