The Astronics Smart Aircraft System
Increase Your Cabin Crew By 1,000!
How many times has your cabin crew needed to be in multiple places, doing multiple things—all at once—in order to pull off that problematic on-time departure? What if they could be in literally hundreds or thousands of places at once. Checking everything they need to check. Seeing everything they need to see.
The Astronics Smart Aircraft System makes that possible. Our patented system enables the immediate, cabin-wide gathering of thousands of data points using sensors & IoT (Internet of Things) technology. The result? You get the insight you need—when you need it. Insight that helps you on every flight. Insight that allows you to improve your operational efficiency, your cabin safety, and your overall passenger experience.
And yes, insight that helps you make that on-time departure.

A Thoughtfully Designed System that is Easy to Retrofit on Your Aircraft
The Smart Aircraft System is an innovative approach to connected aircraft technology. Every element is thoughtfully designed for easy retrofit on your existing aircraft in order to minimize downtime, reduce installation costs, and start delivering payback. The resulting system is immensely powerful, highly expandable, and built using open standards for interoperability and long serviceable life.
Intelligent Data Handling
Collect data from hundreds of IoT sensors simultaneously with the Smart Aircraft System. You can use this data to deliver meaningful, actionable information right to the fingertips of the crew.
Real-Time Data Distribution
Distribute processed data in real-time to where it is needed on the aircraft. If desired, the system can also record data and transfer it via existing connectivity systems or built-in cellular for analysis off the aircraft.
Advanced Wireless Sensing
Battery or aircraft-powered, peel and stick sensors like the ones shown above collect comprehensive data such as: presence, humidity, temperature, barometric pressure, smoke, and volatile compounds.
Software Flexibility
There is no need to learn a new system; simply incorporate this real-time data right into the crew apps you are already using with our easy-to-use Software Development Kit (SDK).
