Illuminex AI – EdgeGuard
Illuminex AI EdgeGuard is designed to protect airfield edge lights during winter operations by providing operators with real-time awareness of edge-light proximity and precise control over snow placement. Using precise GPS positioning, EdgeGuard visualizes how close a plow or blower is to edge-lighting infrastructure and provides configurable alerts to help prevent costly strikes and buried lights. EdgeGuard also enables operators to maintain a consistent, customizable offset between the blade and edge lights—supporting safer, more reliable downstream blower operations without changing existing snow removal procedures.
Specs
• Positioning: Precision GPS-based guidance and visualization
• Display: Dynamic in-vehicle moving map display
• Alerts: Customizable proximity alert zones + configurable offset target
• Compatibility: Deployable on plows and blower
Features
• Real-Time Awareness: Clear visualization and proximity alerts showing how close the plow or blower is to airfield edge lights.
• Precision Offset Control: Maintains a consistent, customizable target offset between the plow blade and edge lights for optimal windrow placement.
• Precision GPS Positioning: GPS-based positioning supports repeatable snow placement relative to lighting infrastructure.
• Customizable Alert Zones: Configurable parameters and alert zones tailored to your operation and risk tolerance.• Dynamic In-Vehicle Moving Map Display: Continuous situational awareness of edge light locations relative to the equipment edge.
• Deployable on Plows and Blowers: Built to support both plowing and blowing workflows.
• No Process Change Required: Improves safety and reliability without requiring changes to existing snow removal procedures.
Applications
• Runway & Taxiway Plowing: Helps prevent edge lights from being buried by maintaining consistent blade offset.
• Downstream Blower Operations: Reduces risk of edge light damage on blower passes by keeping snow placed at the optimal distance from lights.
• Winter Events With Limited Visibility: Enhances operator confidence with real-time proximity awareness and alerting.
• Airfields With High Edge-Light Repair Costs: Reduce strikes, replacements, and operational disruptions after snow events.
