Abstract
La memoria aborda la transformación digital en las operaciones terrestres de SKY Airline, destacando la necesidad de automatización en la gestión de la pizarra de control terrestre. Actualmente, la aerolínea utiliza sistemas como Flight Ops para el monitoreo de vuelos, pero la información se transfiere manualmente a Excel, lo que genera ineficiencias y errores. Este proceso manual refleja una oportunidad para implementar una solución digital que automatice el 80% de los campos en la pizarra de control terrestre, según el objetivo planteado.
El enfoque de la memoria es desarrollar una propuesta que integre herramientas digitales para automatizar los procesos relacionados con las operaciones terrestres, mejorando la eficiencia operativa y reduciendo costos. La transformación digital es crucial en un entorno altamente competitivo como la aviación, donde la optimización de recursos y la precisión en la gestión de datos son vitales para mantener operaciones fluidas , seguras y costo eficiente. El análisis del estado actual de las operaciones de SKY Airline evidencia la dependencia de procesos manuales, lo que genera errores en la actualización de información y aumenta los tiempos de trabajo de los equipos operativos.
La solución propuesta se basa en el desarrollo de una solución digital que permita automatizar la recopilación y visualización de datos operativos como la matrícula de la aeronave, número de vuelo, peso del equipaje y carga paga. Estos datos, cruciales para la operación segura y eficiente, se obtendrán directamente de sistemas como el PSS (Passenger Service System) y el DCS (Departure Control System), que manejan información en tiempo real sobre los pasajeros, equipaje y servicios prestados en los vuelos. La integración de APIs1 conectará estos sistemas para automatizar la captura de información, lo que permitirá un monitoreo en tiempo real de las operaciones terrestres y mejorará la capacidad predictiva.
En términos de impacto económico, la automatización de la pizarra digital podria generrar una reducción de hasta un 80% de las multas generadas por pagos tardios de la facturación significativa de los costos operativos asociados al tiempo invertido por el personal en la gestión manual de datos. Un análisis del ahorro en horas hombre (HH) sugiere que la digitalización podría generar un ahorro anual de aproximadamente $152.000 USD en las operaciones de la aerolínea, mejorando la eficiencia y liberando recursos para actividades de mayor valor añadido.
Finalmente, la implementación de la pizarra digital no solo optimizará los procesos de control terrestre, sino que también reducirá las multas por retrasos en el pago de servicios, que han sido una problemática recurrente. El uso de una herramienta digital permitirá a la aerolínea mejorar el control y seguimiento de los servicios prestados por terceros, como Swissport, evitando errores en facturación y asegurando que las operaciones se realicen de manera más eficiente y económica.
En resumen, la digitalización de las operaciones terrestres a través de la automatización de la pizarra de control representa una solución necesaria y estratégica para mejorar la gestión operativa, reducir costos y mantener la competitividad de SKY Airline en un mercado que demanda eficiencia y precisión en sus procesos
The study addresses the digital transformation in SKY Airline’s ground operations, highlighting the need for automation in managing the ground control dashboard. Currently, the airline uses systems like Flight Ops for flight monitoring, but the information is manually transferred to Excel, which leads to inefficiencies and errors. This manual process presents an opportunity to implement a digital solution that automates 80% of the fields in the ground control dashboard, according to the stated objective. The focus of the report is to develop a proposal that integrates digital tools to automate the processes related to ground operations, improving operational efficiency and reducing costs. Digital transformation is crucial in a highly competitive environment like aviation, where resource optimization and precision in data management are vital to maintaining smooth and safe operations. The analysis of SKY Airline's current operations reveals a dependency on manual processes, which leads to errors in information updates and increases the working time for operational teams. The proposed solution is based on the development of a digital dashboard that automates the collection and visualization of operational data such as aircraft registration, flight number, baggage weight, and paid cargo. These data, essential for safe and efficient operations, will be obtained directly from systems such as the GDS (Global Distribution System) and DCS (Departure Control System), which handle real-time information about passengers, baggage, and services provided on flights. The integration of APIs will connect these systems to automate data capture, allowing real-time monitoring of ground operations and improving predictive capabilities. In terms of economic impact, the automation of the digital dashboard will lead to a significant reduction in operational costs associated with the time staff spends managing data manually. An analysis of the man-hour (MH) savings suggests that digitalization will allow for an annual saving of approximately $152.000 USD in the airline’s operation, enhancing efficiency and freeing up resources for higher-value-added activities. Finally, the implementation of the digital dashboard will not only optimize ground control processes but also reduce penalties for delayed service payments, which have been a recurring issue. The use of a digital tool will enable the airline to improve the control and monitoring of services provided by third parties, such as Swissport, avoiding billing errors and ensuring that operations are carried out more efficiently and economically. In summary, the digitalization of ground operations through the automation of the control dashboard represents a necessary and strategic solution to improve operational management, reduce costs, and maintain SKY Airline’s competitiveness in a market that demands efficiency and precision in its processes.
