Announcement System

Flight information on screen in the baggage claim area.

Simpleway is a global leader in passenger announcements, delivering pre-recorded messages voiced by native speakers for a natural sound. Powered by advanced AI-driven Text-to-Speech technology, our solution combines fast delivery with human-like quality.

While our announcement system can function as a standalone public address system, its greatest strength lies in integration with our Cloud FIDS. This integration enables synchronized voice announcements and real-time flight information updates across all public address systems and digital displays via cloud platform.

To maintain operational transparency, all paging announcements are recorded in a comprehensive history. Airport personnel utilize role-based paging interfaces, such as GateUI and BaggageUI, to efficiently broadcast flight-specific messages to designated gates or zones.

Complete your public address solution with the nnounce product line, featuring dedicated audio platforms and hardware built to improve system performance and dependability.

Operations

Airports are complex aerodromes with a lot of resources which need to operate all together

Airport Operational Data Base

Flight editor tab with a list of items in a table format, which gives an overview of all available flights. Each item in the list represents one flight. The list displays flight information grouped by columns.

Real-Time and Accurate Flight Information

Our Airport Operational Database (AODB) serves as the central source of operational data, supporting communication and coordination across all airport departments. It manages essential information such as flight schedules, aircraft information, and gate assignments, keeping systems and stakeholders aligned.

The platform connects with Resource Management Systems (RMS) to optimize the use of staff, equipment, and infrastructure.

With real-time weather data and runway status updates, airport operators gain better situational awareness and can make more informed, timely decisions.

Resource Management System

A timeline with flights. Each flight has a logo, name of the main carrier, flight code, status, destination code, arrival or departure icon.

Maximize Efficiency and Reduce Costs

The RMS platform helps airports plan, allocate, and monitor all critical resources, including gates, stands, and baggage belts. The system provides real-time conflict alerts and allows operators to resolve issues directly within a unified interface.

During irregular operations, it supports rapid adjustments to minimize disruptions.

RMS also generates detailed resource usage data to improve billing accuracy and support long-term planning and cost control.

Reporting

Examples of reports on flight data by airline, flight delay data, and resource usage in the Gate and Baggage user interfaces are shown.

Turn Data into Actionable Insights

The reporting tool in the Operations UI gives you a unified view of your airport’s performance. Quickly access key metrics on flight delays, baggage handling, system usage, and more.

Use the tool to support operational planning, monitor resource performance, and identify cost-saving opportunities.

Campaign and Display Analytics

An example of a media tracking report for three campaigns with graphs of their duration as well as of each individual media item.

Manage digital signage campaigns with tagged media (videos, images, templates).

Generate detailed reports on playback frequency, duration, and audience impressions.

Export data into Power BI or similar platforms, and filter by date range, terminal zone, or content type.

Scenarios

A scenario tool that specifies the actions to be taken by the FIDS and the announcement system, such as which content to show and what announcement to play to selected zones.

Manage Emergencies with Confidence

The Scenario tool helps airports automate communication for common and critical events. Whether it’s an emergency evacuation or an operational disruption, predefined scenarios reduce confusion and help maintain control.

You can set custom triggers and decide what messages play across your passenger information and public address systems.

This ensures quick coordination between teams while keeping passengers informed and safe.

Purpose-built User Interfaces

The main page of the Check-in user interface.

Efficient Check-In and Baggage Operations

Our user interfaces are designed for airport and airline staff to effectively manage check-in counters and baggage unloading. These actions update the content shown on passenger information screens in real time.

  • Check-in staff can assign flights to counters, select flight classes, and craft visual messages for greetings, announcements, or promotions along with flight information.

  • In baggage unloading, staff can assign belts, track baggage status, and complete the unloading process with ease.
