SonnePower Aerobridge Truck Control System Solution
Table of Contents
Background
As a core piece of airport ground support equipment, the aerobridge truck directly connects passengers to the aircraft. The safety and efficiency of its docking process not only affect the passenger experience but also influence the turnaround efficiency of airport operations.
Any failure in the electronic control system could lead to docking deviation or safety risks, potentially endangering aircraft and personnel safety — even causing flight delays.
Therefore, a safe, reliable, and intelligent control system is essential to ensure precise and efficient docking operations.
Integrated Control and Protection
The SonnePower aerobridge truck control System is built around the 8-inch display SPD-080-Fx as the main controller, paired with SPC-SFMC-X2424A and SPC-SFMC-X3632A controllers, creating a unified “control and protection” platform that ensures reliable operation for all core functions of the aerobridge truck.
Zonal Control – Precision and Reliability
Platform Section:
The SPC-SFMC-X2424A controller is installed near the operation area to capture platform input signals and receive real-time data from the docking anti-collision protection system, enabling immediate response to potential safety risks.
Cabin Section:
Equipped with the SPD-080-Fx display and SPC-SFMC-X3632A controller, the system collects cabin control commands, drives hydraulic valve actions, and communicates with the electric chassis to manage all vehicle operations and anti-collision functions.
Precise Response and Efficient Coordination
Multi-level Protection for Safety Assurance:
The system adopts redundant and multi-layer anti-collision protection designs to guarantee docking safety.
Accurate Height Control, Time-Saving Operation:
With a self-learning height calibration function (accuracy within ±2 cm) and a one-touch lift feature, the platform automatically adjusts to the optimal combination of slide and center column height — significantly reducing docking time and improving turnaround efficiency.
Simplified Operation, Intelligent Feedback:
Supports one-touch retraction, incorporates interlock protection among mechanisms for both safety and flexibility, and provides text prompts and voice alarms for clear, multi-channel feedback.
Comprehensive Support for Reliable Operation
SonnePower offers a full-chain service system covering solution design, system integration, on-site commissioning, and after-sales support — ensuring perfect alignment between the control system and vehicle performance.
This solution not only enhances the safety level and operational efficiency of aerobridge trucks but also establishes a strong technological safeguard for airport ground operations, helping customers achieve safe, efficient, and intelligent service performance.
