What is Horus?
Horus is a solution dedicated to airports wildlife hazard management
The solution is composed of an Android application for tablets and smartphones and a web portal. The application allows agents to record their observations and actions, while the web portal allows to configure the system, to visualize observations, access statistics and export data.
The application is currently limited to recording of observations and scarings. Other features are accessible via the web portal, such as the declaration of birdstrikes, destructions, management of Low Visibility periods etc. Horus being in perpetual evolution, these functions will eventually arrive in the application.

Destruction management
Destruction management as well as quotas and exemptions granted
Low Visibility periods
Management of Low Visibility periods for statistical purposes
Easy intergration

Data export

Reliable data
Collecting reliable data is necessary to be able to analyze it the best possible way. The best way for agents to encode their observations in a rigorous way is to have a technical solution designed for them:
Simplicity
Easy to use for all agents
Quickness
Only a few clicks are needed
Usability
Interface usable in all conditions
Web portal
Configuration of the system and the mobile applications is done centrally via the web portal. Configuration options are: agents, species, densities, behaviors, weather conditions, scaring tools. The layout of these elements is configurable according to your needs.
Application sends data directly to the cloud via a 4G or 5G connection. No need to transfer data from a tablet to a PC, everything is automatic. Web portal allows you to view and search the data, but also to modify the data. Web portal can also be useful in case a tablet fails, in order to complete data encoding.
