How One Airport Plans to Cut FAA-Mandated Escort Costs by 82%
In a bid to enhance safety, ensure FAA compliance, and reduce costs, one major U.S. airport is pioneering a groundbreaking solution utilizing smart badges and advanced geofence-based positioning systems. By equipping construction workers with these badges, one person can effectively monitor the location of 40 workers using just a laptop, eliminating the need for the traditional 1:5 escort-to-worker ratio. This innovative approach slashes projected escort costs by a staggering 82%, as illustrated by a detailed cost analysis.
