Vestergaard Company has sold the first VTS produced locally at the Vestergaard facilities in Thailand.

The establishing of the manufacturing facilities for Vestergaard Company in Thailand started in September 2012 with the priority of employing the exact right team for the start-up consisting of both local staff and representatives from Vestergaard Company in Denmark.

With the start-up team in place the next focus was to produce and assemble a demo version of the Vestergaard Asia Vacuum Toilet Service Unit (VTS) – a version of the classic Vestergaard Company VTS, produced with materials especially suited for the warmer climates.

The Vestergaard sales team has since been busy approaching the customers in this – for Vestergaard – new market. The road to future success for Vestergaard Asia is marked with the first local unit being sold and shipped out from the factory last week.

Vestergaard Company is proud to announce the award of a major contract of ten Elephant® Beta units to service British Airways in London Heathrow. The ten new Elephant® Beta units will all use the Vestergaard Company DTS (Data Transmission System) and will also have the new Vestergaard PPS (Precise Positioning System) mounted to assist the operators and improve safety.
British Airways and Vestergaard have been collaborating on deicing and water- and toilet services in London Heathrow since 1985. 24 deicers and 10 water- and toilet service trucks from Vestergaard are currently operating for British Airways in London Heathrow. Five new toilet service units will soon be delivered in addition to the ten new Elephant® Beta units.
“We are very pleased that British Airways has once again chosen Vestergaard Company A/S as the provider of the new aircraft deicers”, says Lars Barsoe, Sales Manager in Vestergaard Company. The Elephant® Beta units will be deployed in October/November 2014 at London Heathrow.

Vestergaard Company has added three new, large operations to the Data Transmission System (DTS) network.

This year N*ICE, the deicing operator at Frankfurt Airport, has fitted all its 58 Vestergaard Elephant® units with DTS. This job has just been completed. British Airways is in the process of fitting their 24 units with DTS, and AéroMAG 2000/United Airlines in Newark Liberty International Airport will have DTS on the 10 units that are being delivered there in the next couple of months.

The aviation industry requires more and more documentation for all safety related actions. This certainly also applies to de-icing/anti-icing operations.

For 25 years, Vestergaard has offered the Data Transmission System tracking data related to deicing operations such as time, aircraft, location, fluid consumption, fluid temperatures, weather, operator, refractive index values, and truck performance. Most new vehicles are now sold with this system.

According to Rasmus Jakobsen, IT engineering manager with Vestergaard Company, the DTS customers especially benefit from saving time on both operations and administration: “The DTS logs information about the deicing so the operator doesn’t have to spend time making these notes in a log book between the deicing sessions. This saves time, so the operator can go straight to the next deicing operation. Both the deicing unit and the deicing pad are better utilized. Ultimately this optimization could remove the need for an additional deicing pad.

The company’s administration also saves time as they don’t have to manually process all the deicing jobs. It is also a clear benefit from the DTS that they have access to statistics from the operations. The sum of benefits gained makes the DTS more and more attractive to our customers, which we definitely also experienced at the recent inter airport fair in Munich where we had a live demonstration of the system”, says Rasmus Jakobsen.

The Vestergaard DTS logs any kind of data, that – when analyzed – also will introduce e.g. predictions of required maintenance and service as well as optimization of operations. The DTS can be delivered with new deicing units as well as retrofitted on existing Vestergaard units. The DTS has also been fitted with success on vehicles from other manufacturers.

The Pre mixer will allow the airlines and service providers to purchase concentrated Type I fluid and blend to the required temperature.
