HYDRO Systems KG and Evitado Technologies recently announced a strategic partnership.
HYDRO offers more than 50 years’ experience supporting the aviation industry with equipment to maintain, repair and assemble aircraft for civil and military operations. Evitado is the leading provider of ground collision avoidance systems for airside operations and started to go to market in 2021.
Damages caused during aircraft ground movements cause nearly 250,000 injuries and can cost airlines upwards of $10 billion world wide each year. By installing the 3D Evitado system on the aircraft or directly on the tugs, this system can detect objects, people and obstacles in real-time, to alert control managers of obstacles while maneuvering and to prevent high costly incidents. With recent advancements in 3D sensors and perception software, Evitados smart systems can take in their environment in more granular detail and enable far better localization and prediction, resulting in fewer collisions.
This partnership will enable both HYDRO and Evitado’s aviation customers to deploy 3D-based solutions at MROs, FBOs and airports with hangars worldwide to automate operations for increased safety and efficiency.
This product will enhance HYDRO’s strong GSE portfolio, which already covers more than 3,000 products for OEMs, airlines and maintenance facilities. Through its global network of service centers, HYDRO will support the marketing and sales of Evitado Technolgies products worldwide. A great opportunity for Evitado to reach a broad audience that will benefit from their products.
