Octave’s Nick Karakulko on Connecting the Ramp Through Real-Time Data

In this episode of the AviationPros Podcast, Octave’s Nick Karakulko discusses the company’s upcoming launch as a standalone software business and its vision for connecting airport stakeholders through real-time digital twin technology. Karakulko explains how integrating data across design, build, operate and protect phases can help eliminate operational gaps that impact ramp safety and efficiency. From telematics and LiDAR-enabled foreign object detection to live asset tracking and collision alerts, he outlines how these tools could translate into more informed decision-making for ground handlers while creating a shared operational picture across the airport environment.
