Deutsche Flugsicherung (DFS)
Deutsche Flugsicherung (DFS) – Modernizing Air Traffic Controller Workstations

Challenge

As part of a nationwide modernization effort across its four Air Traffic Control Centers, DFS — Germany’s air navigation service provider — sought to replace legacy systems with contemporary, integrated technology. The goal was to enhance controller efficiency, situational awareness, and operational safety.

DFS required a centralized display system offering:

  • A larger screen surface capable of displaying multiple inputs and layouts simultaneously.
  • Integrated keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) control for seamless management of multiple systems from a single interface.
  • The ability to record and archive screen content for training, analysis, and safety review purposes.

Solution

ScioTeq partnered closely with DFS to design a customized display configuration tailored to the operational and technical needs of Air Traffic Controller Working Positions (CWP).
Through collaboration between DFS’s technical teams and ScioTeq’s Product Management, Sales, and R&D departments, ScioTeq delivered an integrated visualization platform that unified complex IT infrastructure into a single, intuitive control point.
