Textron GSE Launches Guardian Technology

Aug. 4, 2020

Textron GSE recently announced the release of its Guardian technology, designed for its line of Premier deicers.

The aftermarket solution is engineered to eliminate human error from start-up and shut-down procedures. Company officials note that previously, operators could mistakenly leave switches in the “on” position during shut down, which enables power to flow to key components at incorrect intervals, resulting in damage to the motors or burners. 

To safeguard against this behavior, Guardian technology provides features to ensure operations run safely, on-time, every-time. Features include:

  • Failsafe Design: Simple push-button switches are utilized to deploy power at the correct time during start-up and reset once power is cut to the deicer.
  • Quick Installation: Premier deicers can be updated with Guardian technology in half a day, minimizing interruption to operations.
  • Cost Effectiveness: Protecting Premier deicers with Guardian technology reduces the risk of expensive repairs, unnecessary downtime and delayed flights.
  • Versatility: Guardian technology retrofits to most Premier deicers.
  • Enhanced Safety: Removing human error from the operation of Premier deicers safeguards operators from failing components like motors and burners.
