Solution highlights
Challenge: with an abundance of data, optimization is no straight way forward.
The solution: one platform for design, implementation, planning and optimization.
So, what does it solve? Evidence based decision making and insights, all in one place.

Checkpoint operations in one place
Advanced Insights Platform (AIP) brings structure to the complexity of checkpoint operations. Rather than adding another layer of dashboards, it brings together modelling, simulation and real operational data into one platform. This allows stakeholders to understand how a checkpoint performs, why it performs that way and how it can be improved.
A module for design & optimization allows to build and improve checkpoint configurations. Security lanes, staffing models and process parameters can be defined and analyzed in detail, making it possible to identify bottlenecks and compare different setups before implementation.
Performance insight connects real-world data to daily operations. By combining multiple data sources into one view, it enables continuous monitoring of KPIs, identification of inefficiencies and detailed analysis at subprocess level.
To optimize OPEX budgets and workforce planning, AIP also offers planning and scheduling. By modelling passenger flows and operational demand, it helps determine lane opening strategies and staffing requirements in different scenarios.
Scenario simulation allows airports to test changes in set-up. From layout adjustments to peak passenger scenarios, different situations can be modelled to understand their impact on throughput, capacity and overall performance.
Key benefits: tangible improvements.
Advanced Insights Platform supports better decision-making across the entire checkpoint ecosystem. It creates a reliable foundation to evaluate changes before they are implemented, whether that concerns layout adjustments for optimization, staffing strategies or the introduction of new technology. Decisions are no longer based on assumptions, but supported by operational data and validated scenarios, increasing confidence in both day-to-day operations and long-term developments.
By enabling a more integrated view of the checkpoint, AIP helps optimize lane configurations, staffing strategies and asset deployment, ultimately increasing throughput and resource utilization. At the same time, it allows new technologies, layouts and passenger flows to be tested before implementation, supporting more future-proof checkpoint designs.
All of this is brought together in an intuitive online platform, accessible to airports, security companies and OEMs across the full checkpoint lifecycle.
Constantly evolving
While the current platform already supports design, validation and performance monitoring, additional capabilities around advanced scenario modelling and resource planning are being further developed. These will enable even deeper insight into passenger flow dynamics and more precise alignment between demand and operational capacity.
