Mobile Maintenance Revolution at Airports Berlin

We embarked on a mission to enhance efficiency and streamline our technical operations. Our goal? To implement seamless mobile maintenance at the Airports Berlin for our crucial technical facilities. With dedication and the right tools at the Airports Berlin, we achieved this milestone, revolutionizing our operations and ensuring the highest standards of safety and functionality.

MAIN-TOOL Maintenance Software: Transforming Possibilities

In our pursuit of excellence, we partnered with MAIN-TOOL Maintenance Software. Through this innovative solution, we digitalized our maintenance processes, eliminating the need for cumbersome paperwork. This transformation made our operations not only paperless but also significantly more efficient.

Traceable and Transparent Operations

Gone are the days of ambiguity and uncertainty. With MAIN-TOOL, our processes became traceable and transparent. Every step of maintenance, from the baggage conveyor systems to the passenger boarding bridges and lighting systems, is now meticulously tracked. This level of accountability ensures that our technical facilities operate at their peak performance consistently.

Areas of Application

Our collaboration with MAIN-TOOL has revolutionized multiple areas at Airports Berlin:

• Baggage Conveyor Systems: Ensuring swift and secure handling of passenger luggage.
• Runway Lighting System: Guaranteeing safe take-offs and landings, even in low visibility conditions.
• Passenger Boarding Bridges: Seamless connections between terminals and aircraft.
• General Lighting Systems: Illuminating our facilities with energy-efficient solutions.

Endorsement from the Experts

“Thanks to MAIN-TOOL, Berlin Airports is now well-equipped for the tasks ahead.”

Thomas Knöfler, Head of Flight Operations Facilities

It took a moment, as did the overall implementation of the airport.
But now everything is running smoothly thanks to MAIN-TOOL maintenance software.

Following the current development of electric buses and those with fuel cells as a drive source with interest, and “automated driving” and the ordering of bus journeys via cell phone app independently of the timetable, known as “bus-on-demand”, are also in MVG’s focus. MVG is already involved in two areas of application in close cooperation with science and industry: In Iserlohn (a-BUS – New Mobility Lab) and in Meinerzhagen (on-demand transportation).

Challenge for MAIN-TOOL at MVG:

• Liberalization of local public transport
• Resulting need for structural changes in the company
• Mapping of workshops with maintenance of the vehicle fleet and infrastructure

Added value:

With MAIN-TOOL, MVG was able to integrate company divisions. Thanks to optimized processes, there were increases in profitability and savings.
