About AD-ET
AD-ET is an engineering and consulting firm founded in 2012 in Mendrisio (Switzerland), specialised in logistics processes in the airport environment: baggage and cargo handling, passenger processing and material handling in industrial environments. The service portfolio covers Handling System Engineering from concept to as-built, design of HBS and security checkpoints in accordance with ECAC Standard 3 and IATA Regulation 753, passenger processing and apron design (PBB, 400 Hz, PCA) as well as airport systems integration with systems such as AODB, AVAS, CUPPS, L-DCS, FIDS and BRS. To validate the designs preventively, dynamic simulations are carried out with Automod, Emulate 3D and Pax2Sim. The offering is complemented by project management including BIM and trading services. In 2018, the subsidiary AD-ET NAME LLC was founded in Egypt to expand business activities in North Africa and the Middle East. The company has realised projects, among others, in Switzerland, Italy, North Africa, the Middle East and on La Réunion.
