Payerne, Switzerland, November 10th, 2020 - To complement the benefits of the Automated Take-off and Landing Assessment System (ATLAS), Boschung signed an agreement with the
Safran group Safran, world renowned supplier of the aeronautical industry, will provide its solution Runwaiz as an integrated module of ATLAS. Runwaiz is the result of a Safran internal entrepreneurship
program that aims at using aircraft braking data – whatever the aircraft manufacturer, model and type – for optimizing the assessment of runway conditions. Using the aircraft as a sensor,
the friction coefficient can be retrieved in the most practical and consistent way, so that it can be displayed on ATLAS visualization of the Global Reporting Format parameters.
“ATLAS is already a very competitive system to fulfill ICAO’s requirements for global reporting. Indeed, with ATLAS airports get the assessment of contaminant type, depth and coverage 24/7,
without runway closure. By adding the information from aircraft braking actions into our solution, we will strengthen even more the reliability of the Runway Condition Code provided by ATLAS. We are very delighted to have found a trustworthy partner like Safran to cooperate with us in this advanced project for increased safety on runways!” says Filipe Lourenço, CEO Boschung Mecatronic.
“The aircraft itself is the best sensor to measure operational, factual and reliable runway friction coefficient. The ability to control what is happening in real time is a real competitive advantage!
Joining our strength with Boschung we provide the most relevant and complete solution for runway conditions assessment in order to optimize airport operations.“ underlines Céline Colonna-Ceccaldi, CEO Safran Runwaiz

About Safran Runwaiz:
Positioned as an aircraft data specialist, especially regarding braking function, Run[waiz] develops a unique digital solution able to improve confidence in runway conditions assessment.
The Run[waiz] solution provides factual state of aircraft friction along the runway, with an associated confidence level, to take the right decision, at the right time. It relies on latest
advances in intelligent processing and a dedicated know-how of braking regulation systems. This new dynamics of digital transformation and standardization also increases the operational
performance and profitability of airlines while strengthening safety.
Run[waiz] is an entrepreneurial solution supported by Safran, thanks to which all types of aircrafts can be addressed without aircraft modification.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
