atg airports SmartCloud is a next-generation, cloud-based monitoring and analytics platform that brings a new level of intelligence and accessibility to Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) operations. Designed to integrate seamlessly with modern control systems such as SmartControl and Individual Lamp Control and Monitoring Systems (ILCMS), SmartCloud transforms raw system data into actionable insights, operational visibility and remote decision-making capability — enabling airports to operate more efficiently, safely and cost-effectively.

SmartCloud collects and consolidates real-time performance data from across the airfield lighting network — including constant current regulators, lighting circuits and control systems — and presents it in intuitive dashboards accessible from any internet-enabled device. This can include laptops, tablets, and handheld devices such as smartphones or ruggedised field tablets, giving airport operators unprecedented flexibility to monitor system health and respond to issues wherever they are.

A key advantage of SmartCloud is its ability to support remote accessibility. Rather than requiring staff to be physically present in a control room to view performance data or alarms, the system sends automated alerts and status updates directly to mobile devices. This ensures maintenance teams are informed immediately of faults or trends that might require intervention — speeding up response times, reducing downtime and improving the airport’s overall operational resiliency.

SmartCloud’s configurable dashboards turn complex operational metrics into clear visual insights, showing trends over time and highlighting issues before they escalate into critical failures. Historical reporting and trend analysis support proactive maintenance planning, helping airport teams anticipate when components may need attention rather than reactively troubleshooting after failures occur. This data-driven approach supports smarter budgeting, optimized staffing and longer equipment life cycles.

A standout benefit for modern airports is SmartCloud’s support for handheld device use in the field. With mobile-friendly interfaces, engineers and technicians can inspect lighting circuit status, review alerts and verify fault diagnostics directly from their handheld device while on the airfield — eliminating delays caused by returning to a central office and enabling more efficient maintenance workflows.

SmartCloud also enhances collaborative work between teams. Whether it’s operations personnel in the control tower, maintenance crews on the ramp, or managers planning future upgrades, all stakeholders can access the same real-time system data and performance insights through secure login on their preferred device. This shared visibility fosters clearer communication, faster issue resolution and informed decision-making at every level of airport operations.

Security and reliability are integral to SmartCloud’s design. Built around secure cloud infrastructure, all data transmissions and remote access sessions are protected in accordance with modern cybersecurity best practices — giving airports confidence that sensitive operational information remains safe even as it becomes more widely accessible.
