JCAI Inc.

JCAI Inc., also called JCAII, makes deicing management technology for airports, airlines and deicing service providers. The website says it is part of TKH Airport Solutions. Its products include Icelink, SmartPad and CEDD airfield ground lighting.

Icelink is a web-based information management system for the deicing process. It can run at any size of operation, including central deicing facilities and gate operations. It shares flight schedule data with airport systems such as AODB, A-CDM and FIDS. Users get real time views of active trucks and fluid use, GPS tracking, and reports such as real time glycol tracking and flight strip export. A pilot app links to SureWX for deicing requests and Hold Over Time data.

SmartPad helps coordinate service vehicles and aircraft on deicing pads. Its control center handles bay management and integrations, and it works with electronic message boards, optical guidance systems and safety zone lighting. The site says operators can view the pad virtually from a height of 1,000 feet, and that the system cuts radio chatter.

CEDD is an airfield ground lighting system built for LED. Energy and data travel in one cable, and the lights get power by induction, so no transformers or connectors are needed in the field. Each light can be addressed on its own, which suits Follow the Greens uses. The company says it uses up to 70 percent less energy than regular LED airfield lighting systems.

The site says three of the four largest US airlines rely on Icelink. It also shows a case study of British Airways using SmartPad at London Heathrow Airport, where gate congestion and long deicing times caused trouble in winter. Visitors can ask to speak to an expert, request a demo, or find where Icelink is used. A contact form is available, and a phone number with the country code +31 is given as +31 53 57 41 456.
