The company boasts of a rich history, lifetime of the lights in all potential weather conditions where a number of products and solutions it has and temperatures. We follow a sustainable approach, introduced in the market were often world firsts: producing lights without any harmful components and complying with the latest ISO specifications. The first The MALSR & inset lights VALSR system Highest degree of operability, increased safety and reliability The first battery The first portable powered lights heliport lights At MULTI ELECTRIC, we focus on the principles of low to no maintenance as we understand the The first signal light The first approach, importance of zero downtime for continued gun for guidance of edge medium high operations. The very design of our products makes helicopters intensity lights them easier to maintain and save on repair time and costs. Since we use fewer components, it translates The first runway to the need for less spares, facilitating easy spare The first multistep system trailers with parts management. Fewer components also mean strobe lights diesel generators less risk for Foreign Object Debris (FOD) and thus an easier overall management of the product parts. The first elevated LED light manufacturer What Sets Us Apart? OUR VISION FOR A CONNECTED AIRFIELD The current airfield exists of separate worlds - the Air Individual Lamp Control Management Systems Traffic Controller (ATC), airfield, apron and terminal (ILCMS) and Airport Lighting Control and remain disconnected from each other. So, while there is Management Systems (ALCMS). We see, in fact, a lot of information in each one of these areas, because that the ALCMS can feed into systems that focus on proprietary systems that are in place cannot talk to each ground handling activities or can itself become a other, there is no exchange of data. central system where data from other systems is fed into it. At this stage, quality, speed and data volume Converting the current airfield to a connected airfield is critical as all assets are steered in real time by the that smoothly integrates all functions at the airport to ATC or the AGL Manager. allow for increased safety and sustainability is the smarter way forward. This interconnectivity will allow for an easy Follow-the-Green integration and increased flexibility At MULTI ELECTRIC we foresee a future where there is in managing airport routing, guidance and monitor- a seamless connection to create a connected airfield. ing.
