Flight Information Display System (FIDS)
PDC FIDS
Our Flight Information Display System – PDC FIDS is 100% integrated with PDC’s AODB system, delivering real-time updates of all airport information. As a result, it provides accurate, current information on arrivals and departures, gate allocations, and baggage claim details, facilitating smooth passenger flow and operational efficiency.
In addition, PDC FIDS is a wired/wireless solution (Raspberry Pi 5) with remote surveillance. Furthermore, we can provide our Flight Information Display System either as a locally installed solution or as a cloud-based service. Most importantly, PDC FIDS is designed to support airport management in a multi-airport environment, serving either independent airports or a family of airports. Consequently, the multi-airport solution offers a cost-effective way for airport operators to centralize and automate the operations of multiple airports.
