MAX Automate
MAX Automate by TK Airport Solutions is an advanced, scalable system that integrates hardware and software to progressively automate Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB) operations. It enhances airport efficiency, safety, and sustainability by evolving from manual to increasingly autonomous modes, incorporating capabilities such as pre‑positioning, assisted docking, and full remote operation. The system enables operators to oversee and control multiple PBBs from a single workstation, removing the need to move between gates. It also leverages stereo‑vision technology and artificial‑intelligence algorithms to ensure precise, consistent, and incident‑free docking. When combined with remote operation, these automated functions increase reliability, reduce workload, and improve responsiveness at the gate. By optimizing staffing, improving working conditions, enhancing safety, and reducing CO₂ emissions, MAX Automate lays the foundation for smarter, more sustainable, and more accessible gate operations across airports of any size.
