Latest information available immediately

MEIDS brings your charts, instructions, weather, NOTAMs and checklists into a single ‘controlled’ position display.

MEIDS — what it changes

Four things every Ops Room needs to get right

MEIDS was built by controllers to solve the problems that every ANS unit encounters, ensuring the latest documents are available, controlled and presented in an easily accessible way.

Streamlined workflow

Everything a controller reaches for — tables, charts, maps, prompts — is one press away and laid out for the position, not held in out-of-date paper copies.

One place for every source

Internal documents, NOTAMs and live weather (METAR & TAFs) sit alongside each other instead of across separate systems. User-configurable overhead displays show each ATCO’s preferred charts.

Safety through collaborative checklists

Checklists that every position can see and confirm together, so procedural steps are followed, recorded and auditable.

Currency you can evidence

Real hours in position, tracked automatically, mapped straight to competency and currency requirements — available for ATCOs and ready for audit.

Modular by design

Mix and match to fit your unit

Every module below can be included or left out. Start with the information display and add capability as you go — that is exactly how MEIDS grew in the first place.

Core

Information Display System

Indexed document library, quick reference, maps and operational tables at every position.

Radar

Radar Overhead Displays

50" map displays driven from any operational position, served from one central repository.

Compliance

Competency & Currency

RFID tap-in position monitoring with detailed hours reporting for every controller.

Safety

Shared Checklists

Role and position-specific checklists, confirmed live across every connected screen, with a saved record.

Briefing

ATCO Self-briefing

Personal briefing areas, unread lists and a timestamped read record per individual.

Briefing

ATC Briefing Board

4K board with live METAR/TAF and a diary that populates and expires itself.

Safety

Building Access Monitor

Tap in and out, a live “Who’s In” page, and roll-call data pushed to an evacuation laptop.

Ops

Airspace Activity Display

Activity buttons synced in real time across every position, with fully customisable labels.

Safety

Assistance Required Alarm

One button raises a banner on all positions and can drive external bells or door relays.

Ops

Airfield Restrictions Helper

Type-specific manoeuvring restrictions surfaced in seconds instead of hunted through.

UAS – Drones

Drone Alert Actions

Receive alerts from your drone monitor directly in MEIDS and see an overlay of the location and height/altitude on Google Maps.

Built for the Ops Room

Designed around the controller

MEIDS was developed inside a working ATC unit during an operations room redesign, and MEIDS consoles were built to fit in with and complement existing equipment.

  • Portrait or landscape to suit each position
  • 23" touchscreens on compact PCs — no bulky hardware in the desk
  • Touchscreen interface with RFID login for Electronic Position Monitoring (EPM)
