The Airport Lighting Control & Monitoring System (ALCMS) is a highly reliable and flexible solution designed for small to medium-sized airports. Built on a centralized Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) architecture, this system automates the control and monitoring of airfield lighting equipment in full compliance with FAA specification L-890-XY. The ALCMS uses touchscreen panels to provide air traffic controllers and maintenance teams with an easy-to-use graphical interface, allowing efficient management of runway, taxiway, and apron lighting. Its modular design ensures quick fault detection and precise lamp failure location, helping reduce maintenance time and improve overall airport safety.

This Airport Lighting Control & Monitoring System (ALCMS) also offers significant cost savings by minimizing cabling and installation complexity through software-defined circuit segmentation. The system supports integration with other airport technologies, enhancing situational awareness and operational efficiency. By improving lighting control and monitoring, the ALCMS helps airports increase safety, reduce delays, and lower environmental impact, making it an essential tool for modern airfield lighting management.
