Tug Integration

We are developing tug automation to carry out approved aircraft moves and free your crew for higher-value work.

In development

From plan to movement

The goal: connect approved tow paths to automated aircraft movement.

Autonomous tugs
Tug automation concept — in development.

Potential Annual Labor Savings: $68,985

Estimated ROI using a 40,000 sq. ft. hangar, 5% utilization boost, $3.50/sq. ft. monthly tenant rate, 4 hours spent stacking per day, $35 per labor hour, and 3 crew members.

The illustrative scenario estimates ~1,971 labor hours per year in potential savings from automated aircraft movement.

Reduce time spent towing so your crew can focus on servicing aircraft and supporting customers.

Capabilities in Development

Planned controls and integration options for automated towing.

Smart tug control

Connect compatible tugs to approved aircraft movement plans.

Retrofit options

Explore automation for existing tugs, subject to equipment compatibility.

Real-time tracking

Track tug and aircraft positions on the hangar map during a move.

Safety controls

Develop stop controls and coordination with hangar rash prevention alongside tug automation.

Operator control

Keep operators in control with planned manual operation and automated-movement stop controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about availability, compatibility, and planned operator controls.

Retrofit options are in development. Contact us with your tug make and model to discuss compatibility and integration requirements.
Manual operation and operator takeover are planned. The controls will depend on the tug and its integration.
Stop controls and coordination with hangar rash prevention are being developed. The final control setup will depend on the tug and validation of the integrated system.
Compatibility will depend on the tug, aircraft weight, landing gear, and towing requirements. Contact us to discuss your fleet.
Tug automation is in development. You can use Auto-Stack and Tow Paths now without waiting for automated towing.
