Our proprietary computer vision system analyzes real-time video and audio feeds to provide actionable insights across every aspect of the turnaround process—baggage loading, aircraft fueling, GPU use, and more. By detecting inefficiencies, anomalies, and even subtle sound patterns that signal needed maintenance, Synaptic’s tools help airports and airlines act in the moment—cutting delays and reducing risk.
Measurable Impact
In a recent five-month study with a client Airline, our system:
- Analyzed 46 service activities per flight
- Found that 14% of arrivals had unexpectedly long taxi-ins
- Achieved GPU connection time above 84%
- Led to a 21% average reduction in taxi-in time
That’s not just operational efficiency—it’s bottom-line impact. Our data shows savings of $43,600 per gate per year, scaling to over $2M at larger airports with over 50 active gates.
Another Synaptic study focused on ground power units (GPUs) revealed that 12.5% of flights weren’t utilizing the GPU efficiently. Optimizing GPU usage increased connection times from under 1% to over 84% of ground time—unlocking more than $23,000 in annual savings per gate and up to $1.15 million per airport.
Sustainability Meets Innovation
Environmental impact is at the forefront of everything we do. By reducing idle engine time and optimizing ground processes, our tech helps airlines take a meaningful step toward the IATA goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
As Sal Salman, our President, says:
“Our goal is to deliver critical data and real-time alerts that help mitigate delays, increase safety, reduce fuel burn, and optimize gate utilization.”
Whether it’s improving safety under strained ground crew conditions or maximizing asset usage, Synaptic Aviation is proving that smarter aviation starts on the ground.
