The Isle of Man Coast Guard (Harbours Division) has got 2021 off to a good start for us here at Redkite Systems with an order for the Redkite Competence Management System with integrated Redkite E-Learning delivery and the Redkite Asset Management System with integrated Defects Management.

A fantastic start in these difficult times and we are looking forward to a continuing long term relationship with this new client in, what is for Redkite Systems, a new sector. Thank you to all concerned.

Really pleased to report that Falck Fire Services UK have taken delivery of the Redkite Asset Management system to help them manage fire safety inspections carried out on behalf of their clients in the North East of England. This follows on from the acquisition of the Redkite Competence Management System and Redkite Asset Management systems in use at Glasgow International and Aberdeen Airport RFFS.

We are looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Falck Fire Services UK as they continue to grow their business in the UK.

Very pleased to report that Redkite Systems will be supplying Unity Fire and Safety, based in Oman, with the Redkite Asset Management System to help them manage a range of fire service equipment as they expand their services throughout the Middle East. Working with Unity Fire and Safety further strengthens our position as the leading supplier of fire service management systems and we are looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with this team.

Great to hear from Chief Fire Officer John Ingledew that Oman Airports Management Company are introducing the Redkite Competence Management system to the ARFFS team at Muscat International Airport. This is a fantastic achievement following a great effort by John to move this project forward in this difficult time for airports and airport personnel around the world.
Redkite Systems initially worked with John Ingledew in 2005 when he worked as a Fire Station Manager at London Heathrow Airport (part of the BAA group back in those days) as a leading member of the team responsible for the successful implementation of the Redkite CAP699 CMS within the BAA Group... Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Southampton Airports... all of whom still use Redkite to manage CAP699 on a daily basis to this day.
We wish everyone at Muscat International Airport every success and hope all airports throughout the world can return to normal operations soon.

The Capita Defence Fire and Rescue project has been another Redkite Systems success story. In just under 12 months Capita have installed, trained and rolled out the Redkite Asset Management System using bar codes to eradicate paper work, the Redkite Competence Management System to manage the UK MOD maintenance of competence scheme and, most recently, the Redkite E-Log to manage incident reporting across the organisation. All systems provide electronic, paperless recording, a centralised overview of performance, management tools to facilitate re-training, re-assessments and equipment preventative maintenance and testing using competent personnel.

A fantastic achievement by all the teams involved at Capita. Well done to you all.

The Redkite Systems Capita DFRP project, has been completed on time and within budget and its successful completion means that in the past 10 months (from August 2019) Redkite Systems have been successfully installed in 64 aerodromes (civil, military, commercial and specialised) and over 25 domestic fire stations.

If you want to learn how Redkite Systems can improve your training, equipment or incident reporting management, please get in touch.

Redkite Systems is pleased to report that Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service will be fully operational with the Redkite Asset Management and integrated Stores Management System from 1st September having migrated away from a legacy system with no loss of data. The seamless transition has taken place against the backdrop of Covid 19 and represents a fantastic achievement by all concerned.
This successful implementation means that in the past 12 months, Redkite Systems have rolled out user friendly, reliable, paperless solutions for use in over 100 + locations in seven countries.
Despite Covid 19, and the economic upheaval it has caused around the globe, with more projects in the pipeline, we are looking forward to expanding our portfolio over the coming 12 months.

It is less than twelve months since Changi Airport Group went operational with the Redkite Competence Management System which is now used on a daily basis throughout CAG AES - 500+ personnel at 8 aerodromes throughout Singapore: four military, one helicopter base, a specialist Sea Rescue Base and two civilian airfields, including the world leading Changi International Airport.

Using Redkite, CAG AES has moved from a time consuming paper based training system to a fully automated, paperless, electronic maintenance of competence system using a competence framework, developed with the help of my good friend Peter NcMahon.

Redkite has empowered CAG AES to create customised role profiles to meet the varied competence requirements specific to the many roles at their mix of aerodromes and Redkite manages this complex array of refresher training and workplace assessment reminders to ensure competence is maintained.

Redkite also manages the  delivery of over 120 focussed e-learning packages to match profiles of groups and individuals throughout CAG AES.

Redkite's inherent flexibility has also enabled CAG AES to design and deliver their own assessment and learning material.

A fantastic achievement... well done the team at CAG AES.

Redkite Systems are very pleased to announce an initial order from Triton Risk Management for the Redkite Competence Management System with integrated E-Learning and the Redkite Asset Management System with optional barcode functionality for a client in the mining sector... a new sector for Redkite Systems with enormous potential globally. Thank you, Triton Risk Management - we look forward to working with your team well into the future.

The month of May has seen Redkite Systems working to put in place the Redkite E-Log which is the latest piece in the integrated fire service management system supplied by Redkite for the Capita Defense Fire and Rescue Project. Roll out of the Redkite E-Log will commence to over 55 MOD sites throughout the UK and overseas in June and will integrate with, and complement, the newly introduced Redkite Asset Management System and the Redkite Competence Management System which are now already fully operational throughout the service. As is normal with Redkite projects, all project timelines have been met and it has been a priviledge to have been involved in this very successful project. My thanks to all those involved at Capita and at Redkite Systems.

The next stage, hopefully, will be to introduce more Redkite modules to further enhance the system to the benefit of all.

Plenty of other interesting work undertaken during May; discussing new projects in the UK and overseas as well as developing new and enhanced modules, functions and features to continue to improve our portfolio of products.

Redkite Systems are pleased to announce the extension of their provision to Changi Airport Group AES to include a new module to house a large number of compliance questionnaires, which they term as AES Ratings.

The ratings, which can follow a practical assessment, are undertaken annually to ensure operational readiness of AES personnel in key areas.

The questions are categorized for each fire station, rank and resources and are held in question banks, selected and delivered by Redkite Question Master (part of the Redkite Competence Management System) in a random order. Assessments are automatically marked and graded and a record of all attempts is made. E-records are made available for sighting and verification for the processing of their various allowances.

CAG AES report: "The online rating system fits seamlessly into our competence framework held in the Redkite CMS and successfully rolled-out to all aerodromes and Airbases within CAG AES in Singapore, including Changi International Airport. We now have a one-stop portal for all operational compliances (training and ratings system). This has removed plenty of unnecessary paper work for the more than 30 various ratings in place today.

Redkite Systems have been contracted to supply the Redkite E-Log to Capita Government Services for use in the Defence Fire and Rescue Project. The system will be rolled out to all DFRP sites across the UK, Cyprus, Ascension Islands and Falkland Islands and will sit alongside and integrate with the Redkite Competence Management and Redkite Asset Management Systems which are also being rolled out over the coming months.

Great to report that Redkite Systems has been selected by MAG Stansted Airport to supply a Training Management and Quality Assurance system to Stansted Airport security team. The system will comprise of Redkite Tracker, Redkite Course Management System and Redkite Certificate Module, to help manage the training and competence of personnel working in their security areas. We are looking forward to working will all the team well into the future.

We are pleased to announce that Oman Airports have ordered the Redkite Competence Management System consisting of Redkite Tracker, Redkite E-Learning and Redkite Question Master for the airport rescue and firefighting (ARFFS) team at Muscat Airport, Oman.

We are also pleased to report that the Redkite Asset Management System is continuing to be rolled out throughout the Capita Defence Fire and Rescue Project and have received many positive comments. Well done the Capita team.

G3 Systems IAP, have successfully completed their roll out to their managed airports in Afghanistan, including Kabul International Airport and Kandahar International Airport plus four others. Well done all involved and stay safe.

After only a short time, the final preparations for the launch of the Redkite Asset Management System with barcode functionality throughout the Defence Fire Service, Project managed by Capita are being completed and the system is being rolled out to 53 military sites at locations within the UK and overseas. Initial feedback from the first sites has been very positive. 

It has been a fantastic achievement to hit this milestone in such a short time. Well done to all involved at Capita and Redkite Systems.

Early 2020 will see preparations to roll out the Redkite Competence Management System and other Redkite modules. We will keep you updated.
