The ALCMS system is a sophisticated airport lighting control and monitoring system designed to compliment our popular range of Airfield Ground Lighting. Our system is preferred at over 300 airports globally.
The applications which can be controlled and monitored include runway, approach, stop bars, apron and taxiway lighting systems. The lights can be operated either individually or as a group, which helps the maneuvering of all the ground traffic in a safe and efficient way on the airfield.
ALCMS can be designed to connect and control with any type of airfield lighting equipment and fittings by multiple manufacturers.
The system usually includes the monitoring of alarms relating to the airfield operations and storing them for future interrogation or analysis.
