What is a smart airport?
Smart airports are airports that use intelligent systems in the form of sensors, digital devices, AI-driven software and other platforms that enable better control over the airport management system. The airport industry needs to handle the growing demand for transporting people and cargo, and introducing modern technologies is one of the key methods to manage that. Because traditional airport terminal management has limited possibilities as far as optimization is concerned, smart airports provide the opportunity to apply much more precise airport solutions that later result in numerous benefits, including increased capacity for transporting cargo and people.
How can you benefit from smart airports?
Smart airports can provide us many benefits that traditional airport management systems cannot offer. Some of the key benefits of smart airports include improved efficiency, increased safety and security, reduced carbon footprint, and increased revenue. Thanks to advanced technologies based on AI-driven software as well as real-time data analytics and overall optimization of airport operations, all the processes such as baggage handling, security checks, and others require less time. Another important element worth mentioning is safety. Facial recognition, digital identification, and smart surveillance systems provide better security – both to passengers and airport staff. Reducing carbon footprint thanks to the introduction of energy-efficient technologies in the form of smart lighting, automated HVAC systems, and renewable energy sources allows for less energy consumption. This, in turn, ensures energy savings. As a result, it is beneficial not only for the environment but also for reducing operational costs and increasing revenue at the same time.
