Migration to ACRIS Standards

The Requirement

Within the Air Transport Industry information must be shared for the effective coordination of operations by multiple stakeholders.

To facilitate efficient sharing of information ACI has established its Aviation Community Recommended Information Services, known as ACRIS, to provide standards for information and data exchange in the aviation community. ACRIS defines a framework for airports, airlines, partners, and suppliers to share information.

The Solution

SMARTUNIFIER is a connectivity platform that enables rapid development and deployment of structured, reusable interfaces providing access to key data sources by applications for the optimization of airport operations.

A connectivity solution that enables fast, easy, and scalable integration of systems and infrastructure supports the movement towards the digitalization of airport processes. At the same time, ACRIS standards can be introduced for standardized information exchange with other systems and stakeholders.

The ACRIS data models for information exchange can be imported into SMARTUNIFIER Information Models and then mapped to data models for anything from low-level equipment to legacy systems, and other systems with standard or non-standard interfaces. This provides an ideal platform for migration to ACRIS standards as illustrated in the migration path diagram. SMARTUNIFIER instances can simultaneously connect old and new models and migration to standards can be achieved without interruption to the flow of data.

The ACRIS data models for information exchange can be imported into SMARTUNIFIER Information Models and then mapped to data models for anything from low-level equipment to legacy systems, and other systems with standard or non-standard interfaces.

Solution Features

  • Can be deployed on multiple platforms: on-premises, on the edge, in data centres, and in the cloud.
  • Virtually unlimited scalability through a fully decentralized architecture (Swarm) that can be centrally managed.
  • Rapid real-time protocol conversion enables timely and reliable exchange of information.
  • Reusable and versioned interface models for similar information exchange partners.
  • Virtually unlimited number of communication connections, protocols, and information models (multi-channel capability).
  • Configurable mapping means connectivity coding is minimized.
  • Development and deployment of connections can be completed in hours or days instead of weeks and months.
  • Interface instances can be deployed, monitored, and managed from a central location with SMARTUNIFIER Manager.

Solution Benefits

  • With a decentralized architecture, no large up-front investment is required to start implementing interfaces
  • Rapid configuration and deployment of interfaces saves time and money
  • The benefits of reliable information exchange with partners and implementation of Industry Standards can be realized sooner.
